Research can be quite daunting, but sometimes you just need someone to talk through your ideas and help shape them into a service evaluation/quality improvement project or research proposal.
Equally knowing how to start out on a research career or progress within academia can feel overwhelming.
The RCOG Academic Board has now set up a Research Clinic and Research mentorship service to support Members and fellows.
