NIHR and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges are looking to fund places on two new online research courses nationally at Postgraduate Certificate level.
This opportunity is open to all registered clinical health professionals, and the Office of the Chief Scientific Officer is really keen to reach all eligible Healthcare Science groups.
The first virtual event is 1-2pm Monday 28 March 2022, with enrolment beginning in September – for more information, please see the attached document.
What is the Postgraduate Certificate?
The aim of these new qualifications is to provide a forum to develop the necessary networks, skills and confidence for healthcare practitioners from any regulated profession to support and lead clinical research delivery. Aligned with the NIHR-AoMRC Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework, and launching in September 2022, the courses are designed for learners with busy work schedules studying part time.
