What is a QRM?

QRM is an acronym which stands for Quarterly Research Meeting.  They are half day meetings which enables research findings in public health to be disseminated and debated between Fuse members and policy and practice partners, in a setting that combines presentations, round table discussions and workshops. Generally each meeting is themed and examples of the topics can be found below together with the presentations and reports arising from the events.

QRMs are open to anyone from any sector interested in the topic concerned. Fuse welcomes proposals for QRM topics and is happy to collaborate in the planning of a QRM with a partner organisation or practitioner group. Put your idea on paper briefly and e-mail to info@fuse.ac.uk.
