The Leeds Children’s Research Forum (LCRF) brings together healthcare professionals and researchers interested in children’s health research. The forum was initially established in February 2017, through a partnership between the School of Healthcare and Leeds Children’s Hospital to provide information, networking opportunities and support.
The informal monthly sessions focus on research in child and adolescent health, providing clinicians and researchers opportunities to connect, collaborate and learn. All are welcome to join with no prior experience needed. Each session has a different focus including: developing a clinical academic career, research skills and methods, and recent research studies.
Sessions are held either face to face or virtually on Microsoft Teams, with recordings of most virtual sessions available on the LTHT YouTube channel (see links below).
