We are a university teaching hospital for: University of Edinburgh, Queen Margaret University and Napier University. We often have medical, nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy students in our wards and clinics that are here to learn about medical care for older people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will invite patients to help us with teaching. \u00a0This is always with\u00a0your consent and does not affect the treatment\u00a0you receive\u00a0in the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can also host overseas or elective students wishing to observe clinical practice in our department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We support a growing number of observational and interventional research studies. Dr Gordon Duncan, Dr Sarah Keir and Dr Rachael Murphy all hold honorary university appointments and are active in clinical research. They are growing the recruitment for local, portfolio and industry studies for stroke, dementia, Parkinson\u2019s and sarcopenia as well as developing the next generation of clinical researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each year, clinical researchers from the department have published publications and delivered presentations to a variety of national and international audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
