Building safer healthcare systems requires more than guidelines and publications. Healthcare professionals must be equipped with practical skills to apply evidence in real clinical settings — from recognising adverse drug reactions to designing research that answers relevant patient-care questions. Through webinars, workshops, and student training programs, the Qua Pillar Health Research Foundation (QPHRF) supports clinicians, pharmacists, and early-career researchers in developing competencies in pharmacovigilance, rational use of medicines, and research methodology.

Research Designs for Health-Related Studies: Choosing the Right Study Design Before You Collect Patients’ Data
Planning a thesis, audit, or publication in health sciences? This practical session focuses on selecting the appropriate study design to address a research question before data collection begins — a critical step that determines whether findings will be valid, publishable, and useful for patient care.
