Health Education England (HEE) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) have produced a 3-minute long film about developing a clinical academic career.
The animation describes the opportunities on offer to all professions as part of Health Education England’s Clinical Academic Careers Framework which brings together research programmes funded by HEE and the NIHR.
Opportunities are split into two distinct programmes; the NIHR Integrated Academic Training (IAT) Programme for doctors and dentists, and the HEE/NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic (ICA) Programme for non-medical healthcare professions.
Both programmes allow the opportunity for clinicians to combine their clinical and academic development, and each programme contains awards at different levels, to allow all professions to consider developing a clinical academic career.
The NIHR In-Practice Fellowship (IPF) offers academic training to fully-qualified General Practitioners, General Dental Practitioners and Community Dentists who may have already spent some time in NHS practice and who have had little formal academic training at this point in their careers.
