Disseminating your research findings

Disseminating your research findings is an important way to gather feedback, ensure your work achieves clinical impact and that you receive recognition.

Always try to complete the ‘research cycle’:

• ask a research question
• conduct the research
• disseminate the research findings
• use the feedback to devise future work and generate a new research question

Ways to disseminate your research findings include:

• Conferences: posters, oral presentations
• Journals
• Twitter, website, blog
• PPI groups
• University/funder/charity PR department or newsletter
• Uploading your raw data to public databases (check you have ethical/University/funder approval to do this)
