The Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework provides Master’s level qualifications.

LOTS OF BURSARIES ARE STILL AVAILABLE

Apply now to take master’s level courses aligned with the Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework. The qualifications are for all experienced healthcare practitioners who want to take on leadership roles in clinical research delivery. Bursaries are available to pay the course fees for regulated Health and Care Professionals, except doctors and dentists. The deadline for bursary applications is 1 August 2024. For further information, please visit the NIHR website.

 

The bursaries are part of a wider HCP funding program which has ten streams of work to develop careers within specific professions. Consequently, the bursaries are not available for some professions including doctors, dentists and clinical research practitioners. We recognise the impact this has on many colleagues who have a desire to undertake these courses and we are continuing to work with the Department of Health and Social Care in trying to address this. This restriction applies only to bursary and not course applications; all professions are eligible to apply for a place on one of the courses.

Orthotic Student of the Year Award  Strathclyde University

Kay Purnell, Chair of OETT (Orthotic Education and Training Trust) was very pleased to present the Orthotic Student of the Year Award at Strathclyde last week and to a very worthy recipient who had just graduated with a first class degree and excelled in all three years exams.

These are the words of thanks from Cara Muir:

“I am delighted to receive this award from the Orthotic Education and Training Trust. I have dedicated much time and effort towards my studies and this being recognised by the OETT is truly an honour. 

I have been fortunate to have very supportive and knowledgeable supervisors throughout both of my placements who deserve acknowledgement. Receiving this award further motivates me to continue to develop as a clinician, aiming for the best possible outcomes for patients and to be in a position to help future students excel, as my supervisors have done for me”.
