Why do I need to build my portfolio?
Every year, the UK NHS receives a ton of applications for open job positions and choosing between candidates becomes difficult.
An applicant who has a better portfolio is naturally looked upon favourably, thus directly impacting your chances of getting a job.
Portfolio includes things such as research paper publications and additional accredited qualifications among other things.
How long will this take?
Good results take time. A high quality research paper that’s ready for publication in medical journals can take months, depending on the topic chosen and the level of detail and analysis carried out.
Keep in mind that it’s not sufficient to create a report, it needs to be published and that means meeting certain standards.
What's my role in all this?
To build a publish-ready research paper, you need to feed it with good inputs.
Your research guide will teach you how to get accurate, actionable inputs to help build your paper.
The better the input, the better the output.
I don't know what to base my research on?
That’s not a problem, a lot of the doctors who come to us face the same issue.
The research guide assigned to you will work with you and help you shortlist the ideal research topic based on your interests and your goals.
How will my research guide help?
Your research guide will be your mentor throughout these stages and will help you choose the right topic, help you gather inputs, analyse them and help present them in the best possible manner.
Researchers learn from mistakes, you can learn from experts and save time, money and effort that you can use elsewhere.
Will you also help me get published?
Yes, we do. Once we’re done creating an amazing publish-ready research paper, we engage some of the leading medical journals and help you get published.
Your research guide will help you navigate this step, so you’re always aware of what’s happening.
Can't I do this on my own?
Yes, technically you can do this on your own, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to create high quality research reports and get them published in medical journals.
The process can be quite tricky and without the right guidance, you’ll probably end up wasting a lot of your time.
What's the best time to get started?
The sooner the better. If you’re currently in your final year, or are pursuing your internship, it’s the best time to start.
The inputs required are best gathered while you’re currently in a medical institution.
Will my research paper be copied from somewhere else?
Absolutely not! We’re firmly against plagiarism. Our team will go through every section of the finished report to ensure it meets the high quality standards of medical journals.
We’ll proof-read, edit and mention references where needed to make it more polished.
How much time would I need to commit?
This depends entirely on your topic and your one-to-one discussions with your research guide, but usually it’s a couple of hours every week.
The time you need to invest also varies on the stage of the research writing & publication process you’re currently in.
Once your paper is almost ready and you’re simply polishing it, you’ll need to spend a few additional hours with your research guide.
