Summer Research Scholarship - Evaluation of a Long Covid clinic in Taranaki

This summer research scholarship is part of a larger 3-year project titled 'Evidence-based Management of Long Covid'. The project involves conducting an evaluation of a clinic based at New Plymouth Base Hospital, which has included patient and staff interviews with ongoing qualitative analysis and case-note collection. The student will be involved in extracting relevant information from patient case notes, cleaning the data, assisting with analysis, and drafting outputs. The work may also involve literature reviewing depending on the project's progress at the scholarship start date. The student will work alongside existing staff at the Health Services Research Centre on Pipitea Campus. An interest in and experience of quantitative data analysis is essential, although specific methods will be taught if necessary. By the end of the scholarship, a draft publication is anticipated to be written with the student named as a co-author. This is a single-student project supervised by Dr. Mona Jeffreys, Associate Dean of Research at the Faculty of Education, Health, and Psychological Sciences.
