Acquiring qualitative skills for primary care research. Review and reflections on a three-stage workshop. Part 1: using interviews to generate data

Barbour, RS; Featherstone, VA

Abstract

This paper reflects on one Primary Care Research Network's (WoReN's) experience of running a workshop on generating interview data, provided as the first of a three-part workshop concerned with acquiring qualitative interviewing skills. It discusses the aims and limitations of the short workshop format in meeting the needs of practitioners embarking on qualitative research, drawing upon and reviewing the relevant research methods literature, and makes suggestions with regard to designing and running research methods workshops within primary care.
