Clinical Academic Training for Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) for England, in collaboration with the Economics and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) are establishing a major new initiative to boost clinical academic careers for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals.

The competitions for the Masters, PhD and Clinical Lectureship awards were launched in 2009, with the Senior Clinical Lectureship to be launched in 2010. Together, the four award levels will form an integrated, comprehensive clinical academic training programme.
