Trainee Research and Publications

The West of Scotland Programme encourages trainees to develop a range of high quality research skills that will support their clinical and research practice following qualification. Trainees carry out a service based evaluation in years one and 2. In years two and three trainees are required to prepare a research portfolio, which includes a major research project and a systematic review. Glasgow is fortunate in having a very high proportion of senior NHS staff with PhDs and active research interests and this is reflected in a high rate of publication of trainee research in international peer reviewed journals. The Academic Unit of Psychological Medicine provides a dynamic research environment and staff research interests cover a very wide spectrum of topic areas and methodologies. Trainees are required to integrate their research project with staff expertise.
