Events and courses

The course entails qualitative real world research methods at an advanced scientific level for research within the Social and Clinical Pharmacy area.

The course focuses on both theoretical lectures and practical assignments.

Learning outcome

1. Have an understanding of the foundations for qualitative methodology and methods
2. Have a broad understanding of a range of qualitative methods: focus groups, interviews, covert and overt observation and documentary analysis and different approaches for analysis
3. Have an understanding of how to use theory in qualitative research (inductive and deductive approaches)
4. Be able to discuss the role of the researcher when using qualitative methods, including how preconceptions affect the research
5. Have an understanding of concepts such as different sampling strategies, saturation of data, and research ethics and quality of qualitative research
6. Have first-hand experience with interviews/observations, and be able to reflect upon them
7. Have a specific experience of a chosen method of analysis (will be chosen based on needs/wishes of participants)

A high-level writing course aimed at senior PhD students and postdocs who are working on high-impact data for top-tier journals. The workshop is taught by editors from selected relevant journals from the Nature Publishing Group, and aims to provide coaching and contact between the authors and the editors to facilitate tailoring results and pitch to the target audience.

The scientific program consists of presentations from our research projects.

The aim of the course is to introduce healthcare service researchers to the process of evaluating complex interventions.

The course will consist of:

• Defining the concepts of feasibility testing, piloting and definitive trials
• The design of randomised controlled trials to maximise generalisability and minimise both reactive and systematic bias
• The role of statistics in trial design and evaluation
• The concept of health economics and how to incorporate it in the evaluation of complex interventions
• Process evaluation to maximise intervention effectiveness and likelihood of future implementation

The scientific program consists of presentations from our research projects.

Welcome to network meeting for PhD-students and post docs in Pharmacy

The scientific program consists of presentations from our research projects, and at this meeting Aslaug Johanne Risøy will present. In addition Nils Anders Labba from the University of Oslo will join us to give information on the new NFIF Innovation Network.

We are proud to present the second Norwegian PhD School of Pharmacy Guest lecture in 2018.

Ksenia Zagorodnikova will be giving a talk with the title:

'Challenges in use of medications in pregnancy – how do we bridge the gap between research and practice.'

We are hoping to welcome as many of you as possible

We are proud to present the first Norwegian PhD School of Pharmacy Guest lecture in 2018.

Ksenia Zagorodnikova will be giving a talk with the title:

'Pharmacogenetics at the bedside – why it’s not all about genes in individual counseling' 

We are hoping to welcome as many of you as possible

The NFIF network for social and clinical pharmacy will hold a meeting at HIOA. You may participate via Skype.

Everyone pursuing a career in science in any type of science knows that reaching out with your research ideas and findings is a very essential part of being a researcher. But how to be skilled at reaching out to the public and different target groups with your new ideas providing the society with new knowledge and directions for future solutions?

This autumn the Norwegian PhD School of Pharmacy offers the course FRM-KJM9930 Bioanalysis - Forefront Technologies and Applications.

FRM-KJM9930 is particularly relevant for PhD-students working with chromatography and mass spectrometry in the fields of pharmaceutical analysis, biomedical analysis, clinical chemistry, proteomics, and metabolomics.

The course is now open for registration.
