The MRes Experimental Medicine (Dermatology) programme will give nurses, doctors, clinical researchers and research programme managers the skills needed to work in early phase clinical studies. Students will learn how to master experimental medicine with a focus on dermatology through a combination of traditional teaching and hands-on learning, through spending a year working closely with the Experimental Medicine Dermatology team of the Biomedical Research Centre while also taking four structured taught units. The taught units will cover the details of designing and delivering Phase 1 clinical studies, understanding the pre-clinical data required before a clinical programme can commence, and how to optimise early clinical studies to provide evidence for progressing a promising drug or intervention into Phase II/III clinical testing. Alongside the taught elements, each student will have a named supervisor and be exposed to tasks required in the setup, delivery, interpretation and audit of a clinical study. Nursing and physician students may participate in patient care, including new and follow-on patient clinics, treatment and care-giving episodes with patients. For non-registered clinical researchers and research programme managers, no direct patient contact is envisaged and students may participate in clinical trial setup, protocol amendments, database setup, data entry, costing and billing for clinical research.
