GW4-CAT PhD Programme for Health Professionals
Wellcome Trust
University of Bristol
Building on our Wellcome-funded Clinical Academic Training Programme (GW4-CAT) that uniquely supports Medical, Dental and Veterinary professionals; we will deliver a scheme that combines world class PhD training with exit to mentored post-doctoral positions with protected research time, open to all health professions (GW4-CAT-HP). Capitalising on the world class facilities and absolute commitment of the universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter (Great Western 4 - GW4), and our partner NHS Boards and Trusts and Vet School, our objectives for GW4-CAT-HP are to: 1. Recruit talented Fellows from diverse disciplines and clinical specialties, supporting them to make bold choices by accessing the wide range of world-class cutting-edge research environments across GW4 where they will be stretched intellectually and practically. 2. Foster a positive and inclusive research culture, through robust equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) practice and enabling the highest standards of research integrity through support and formal training. 3. Ensure, through bespoke and structured long-term support and mentoring, that all our Fellows secure externally funded post-doctoral support and linked clinical academic posts provided in partnership with our NHS Trusts, Boards and Vet School, to achieve research independence and retain excellent researchers in clinical academia.
