If the past year has taught us anything, it is that we need to be adaptable in our approach to research. In this article we detail the experiences and advice given by experts during the NIBPS 2021 postgraduate workshop. Speakers discussed how they creatively overcame challenges presented to them by the pandemic. We also use this opportunity to share our own experiences of organising a workshop and provide some tips we learned along the way, as well as information regarding PsyPAG workshop funding.
