Dr Who? Let’s talk about…Progressing through your Review Panel

Session Description

Dr Who? discussion meetings offer you the opportunity to meet with others in a similar situation to help, support, understand and encourage each other.

Wherever you are in your programme, the Progress Review Panel (PRP) is a aspect that can often feel like an ‘unknown entity’ that can cause feelings of anxiety or stress; even if it isn’t your first time!  For this reason this in-person session is open to all PGRs that are preparing for an upcoming PRP.

As with each of our Dr Who sessions the focus is on having the opportunity to talk to colleagues who feel the same and explore some ways others have approached the Progress Review Panel. There will also be some practical tips shared that we hope will allow you to feel confident in yourself and your research.

Nikki Harkin will be providing her expertise about the PRP process and expectations and Dr Chris Day will share his experience of being a PGR and also a Subject Expert in a PRP.

Doing a research degree is hard work. You need to stay motivated and are often working in isolation. We hope attending ‘Dr Who’ discussion meetings will help you to:

• feel more confident and positive
• keep a realistic perspective on your research degree
• develop strategies to address any difficulties you are encountering
• meet fellow postgraduate researchers who may continue to be sources of encouragement and support
