HSR Live will be hosting two series of webinars or podcasts with Tweetchats this autumn - both exploring the interface between researchers and service leaders.

The webinars are non-traditional as we encourage audience participation live. The podcasts with Tweetchats is a new format that we are experimenting with whereby we will pre-record the conversation and have a Tweetchat on Twitter about the topics, and get people to Tweet questions and comments to the speakers.

Series 1: Why research matters to service leaders

Tara Lamont in conversation with prominent service leaders: to hear their stories [n=1], to learn what research informs their practice, to discover how they and their teams support research.

The second of these conversations will be with Candy Morris, SRO for Health Research Authority. Candy will be sharing her passion for research, personal anecdotes and more.

The podcast will be available online at www.hsrlive.org starting November 19, 2012.

A Tweetchat is scheduled for Tuesday, 20 November 2012 - Twitter #hsrlive with Candy Morris (@candymorris3) & Tara Lamont (@TaraJLamont).

Time: 13:00 GMT

Length: 1 hour
