Role
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Research Assistant to support a Delphi (consensus) study titled:“Trauma-informed UK medical education and practice for inclusion and wellbeing – a Delphi approach to identify priorities.”
This study aims to identify priorities for teaching about trauma-informed care in undergraduate medical education in the UK and approaches for doing this.
Trauma-informed care is a person-centred and systems-wide approach that recognises prevalence and impacts of trauma and accommodates needs in individual practice, and organisational and systems wide practice and policy, reducing risks of retraumatisation and promoting inclusion and wellbeing.This consensus group (Delphi) study with experts on trauma-informed practice from various backgrounds aims to establish curricular priorities, approaches and training needs, aligned to UK healthcare and education, to inform implementation in undergraduate UK medical education.
A modified Delphi study is a method used to reach consensus among a group of expert participants, typically over a number of rounds of data collection.Participants rate on items across survey rounds until a level of agreement is achieved.
