What does the research process look like from start to finish?
This guidance outlines how you can effectively plan your research and the areas that you will need to consider throughout your research project.
Planning your research is the most important part of the research process. This guidance, which draws on best practice, including across the Healthwatch network, will help you to map out what needs to be done, who needs to do it, and when.
It covers:
• Assessing and prioritising possible project ideas
• Measuring impact
• How to undertake a literature review
• Writing a research question
• Developing aims and objectives
• Considerations when planning the project
We’ve also developed an example gannt chart so you can see how to plan a timeline and lay it out.
