Four budding researchers are expanding their knowledge of clinical research
The BRC funds four internships focussed on ageing-related disease and long-term conditions
The funding scheme, available to Healthcare Scientists, Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals, aims to promote a positive culture of research and allows people in these professions to develop their research awareness and critical thinking through an innovative six-month development programme.
The interns will shadow staff involved in research, have access to training opportunities, and gain insight into the research ethics process.
Martin Dixon, the BRC’s Chief Operating Officer comments:
At the NIHR Newcastle BRC we are committed to developing a skilled, interdisciplinary academic workforce capable of tackling the increasing health and societal challenges of ageing and multiple long-term conditions.
These internships are just one of the ways in which we are providing bespoke opportunities at all levels of the career pathway in order to build a flourishing interdisciplinary pipeline of translational researchers for the future and we’re delighted to have such an exciting cohort.
