Framework Approach

Description

Framework Approach

Framework Analysis has its origins in Policy development. It has been in regular since the 1980’s. Ritchie and Spencer (1994) have popularised its use in NHS Social Sciences Research. Its main application is to assist the organisation, management, navigation and extraction of qualitative data from very large and multifaceted data sets.

Liz will lead the workshop through didactic lecture and small group working with guided exercises. She plans to pragmatically share the principles of developing a Framework. If you have your own anonymised data, it is suggested you bring this along for exploration and explicit application of the method. If not, Liz has lots of interesting data she can share. References will be provided, as will access to all materials from the Workshop.

It is suggested this workshop is best attended when you have collected some data, or at least have a good idea of the research methods you will use for data collection.

Objectives:

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

1. Describe the purpose of an Analytical Framework

2. Understand and distinguish when Framework is NOT applicable to use

3. Complete the key stages involved in developing a Framework

4. Connect your data to the matrices of your Framework

Then she won a National Award from the NIHR, called 70@70 for 3 years, researching and working as a clinician. She presents her NIHR 70@70 work to the latest Senior Research Leaders Conference on 20th June 2023.
