Dear Student 

I am currently undertaking the Imperial College Masters in Education: University Learning & Teaching.  

My research area of interest is to better understand how you as a medical student, navigate the landscape of clinical placements to achieve your DOP in Wound Closure. I am seeking to understand how different students experience the same phenomenon (wound closure DOP). This information will be helpful to identify where the medical school might be able to better support and scaffold this activity. 

This research has been given ethical approval (EERP 2324-0066) and there is a participant information sheet enclosed along with a consent form. Please read this as it describes your time commitment (1 hour) and how your information will be processed by me. All information will be kept in strictest confidence. 

Your participation will mean talking to me for up to 1 hour to talk about your experiences of this DOP. As a thank you for your time I will give you a £10 Amazon voucher. 

If you wish to participate, please read the enclosed Participant Information Sheet carefully and email me to confirm your interest.  

Thank you in advance; I know your time is precious and I’m grateful for your contribution to medical education research. Should you participate, I will be happy to discuss the final outcomes with you.
