Imposter in the room | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/imposter-in-the-room
Some reflections on research…. Imposter in the room. July 12, 2014. Imposter syndrome – the feeling of just waiting to be found out, that someone is about to tell you that they’ve realised you’re not the person that they thought you were and if you could just hand back your keycard pass as you close the door behind you, that would be great. Of not really being confident in your own convictions and waiting for someone to tell you you’re doing it wrong. Qualitative health researcher, librarian, quiet storm.

Safety, quality, harm | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/02/09/safety-quality-harm
Some reflections on research…. Safety, quality, harm. February 9, 2014. Just a quick post – on Friday, I helped to facilitate a teaching session for the cohort I teach in the medical school here. We have about 60 students in this cohort, who are the ‘graduates’ as opposed to the ‘school leavers’, the main difference being they’re a bit older and have some experience in a healthcare setting already. 8216;how many of you have seen poor patient care? Now, I am, quite obviously, a passionate supporter of the...

The RCT and me | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/the-rct-and-me
Some reflections on research…. The RCT and me. March 23, 2014. At the moment, I am 18 months into a two year commitment to participate in a randomised controlled trial (RCT). This, in itself is interesting. I spend my working life being highly aware of the shortcomings of RCTs and the evidence-based medicine movement. So why did I sign up? Well, for a start, it’s a trial of something I feel strongly about. I think that if you can give blood. Along with (hopefully) 49,999 other people, of course I agreed.

Beasts, theories and dominant approaches… | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/beasts-theories-and-dominant-approaches
Some reflections on research…. Beasts, theories and dominant approaches…. July 6, 2014. But anyway. Like this blog, academia ebbs and flows. Some days are so busy they’re untrue and on others, there’s no one else in the office to talk to. And that’s the way that it needs to be, I think. And sometimes I write nothing in this blog then two ideas come along at once. That was in the right place at the right time. And in qualitative analysis, framework analysis. My own example concerns Grounded Theory. Is it ...

Some reflections on research…. February 2, 2014. 8220;So how’s life after the PhD? Someone recently (well, recently as I write this anyway) asked me this question, and I thought actually, it’s an excellent topic for a blog. Here I am, two years on from officially gaining my doctorate. How is life? Here are some things I would say to a current PhD student about what they might end up doing next. I am now working in a job I enjoy. It has a good mix of research and teaching. It is not in a location ...I am ...

Culture shift | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/culture-shift
Some reflections on research…. February 23, 2014. A lot of my reflections on research at the moment are also reflections on teaching. This is in part because this is the time I do the majority of my teaching for the year, and also because I’m currently doing my PGCAP. Theoretically I’m supposed to blog in my Blackboard space and reflect on my teaching, but actually, it’s going to be written here instead. And the safety implications, I was going to blog about safety, branding, and how healthcare is so dif...

Choice, competition, and reality | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/08/30/choice-competition-and-reality
Some reflections on research…. Choice, competition, and reality. August 30, 2014. Your choices are always limited by your resources. I phone, to check that they’re accepting new patients. ‘Where do you live? Asks the receptionist, cheerfully. I name the road, only to be told again that I don’t live in their catchment area. I can, if I like, come in to fill in an out-of-area form, the doctors will review it and let me know within two or three weeks if they’ll accept me as a patient. I’m going to end this ...

July | 2014 | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/07
Some reflections on research…. Monthly Archives: July 2014. July 12, 2014. Imposter in the room. I’d quite like to think that one day I, and everyone else I’ve ever discussed Imposter Syndrome with, will get over it and know that the reason they keep paying us to do the job that we do is because we can do it. But if a head of research can’t quite believe his luck then what hope do the rest of us have? July 6, 2014. Beasts, theories and dominant approaches…. My own example concerns Grounded Theory. And Ad...
