Health Education Northern Region Clinical Academic Training Programme JUNE 2015

We are pleased to invite applications for the Health Education Northern Region Clinical Academic Training Internship Programme. The highly prestigious internships are funded by Health Education England as the first step onto a clinical academic career pathway and are open to registered Health Professionals in the northern region with no prior formal training in research or a research qualification such as a Masters in Research.

How will an internship support my clinical research development? The internship is designed to provide a dedicated period of time during which you will be able to: 

• develop your skills and expertise in aspects of clinical academic research
• enhance your ability to apply your new skills and become a research champion within your Trust
• position you to make an informed decision about progressing your clinical academic career
• enhance your ability to apply successfully for further formal research training

What is involved? Over a period of 35 days you will

• Work with a research supervisor to follow a personalised programme aimed at increasing your research skills and expertise
• Participate, along with the other interns, in a 5 day educational programme aimed at increasing your knowledge and understanding of research, the wider NHS research community and personal development and career progression
• Be supervised and mentored by an experienced research supervisor.

The internships will commence in January 2015 and must be completed by June 2015.

Applications must have clear potential for benefiting patients and the public and can involve: patients; samples or data from patients; members of the public/carers; health technology assessment; health services research; and research into clinical education and training. We would encourage applications where the research would focus on one of HEE’s Mandate requirements, or into education and training.
