Our Academy doctoral programme brings together PhD students from across the CLAHRC, to create a community of students training in applied health research and take best advantage of the expertise available across the partnership.
The Academy works alongside each host institution’s graduate training programme to equip students with the skills needed to work at the interface of academia and health services.
Our doctoral programme focuses on practical aspects of applied health research, such as the skills required
-
to undertake research in health care and public health settings,
-
to engage patients and the public in research,
-
to navigate relevant ethical and research governance approval systems.
In addition, we provide students with an understanding of how their work fits in to current NHS structures, for example by facilitating short shadowing placements.
