Nursing and Midwifery Research Careers Advisory Service

Do you want to take a first step into an academic research career as a nurse or midwife?

Do you want a role where you can continue to work clinically as well as pursue your own academic work?

If you have already started your clinical academic career would you like the opportunity to explore how to make your next move along the clinical academic career pathway?

Would knowing how to apply for and increase your chances of successfully securing NIHR research fellowship funding help?

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Nursing and Midwifery Incubator, in partnership with the NIHR Research Design Service (RDS), is pleased to announce with the launch a virtual careers advisory service to support nurses and midwifes to start and advance their clinical academic research careers.
The service will be piloted in three RDS regions in England:

North West
East Midlands
South East

The pilot service will run over the next 12 months to learn how best to offer this service and make a decision if it merits national roll out.
The service is only available at the moment in the pilot regions. It can be accessed by completing an online enquiry form. Your enquiry will be reviewed by an experienced adviser based in your region who will then arrange an online appointment, so you access information and advice.

This pilot service launched 3 November 2020.

Top research prize awarded to ELHT surgery trainee

A research prize by the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons has been awarded to a surgery trainee at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust for his research into education and training in skin cancer.

Aitor De Gea Rico, an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) speciality trainee, has been awarded the prestigious Paul Toller Prize, an annual research prize given to the best presentation on a research topic, which is awarded to only one trainee each year. The project was chosen from the many presentations which are presented at the BAOMS Annual Scientific Meeting each year.

The award-winning research project was designed as a national questionnaire directed to all OMFS trainees across the country, which assessed several aspects related to education and training in skin cancer. Over 60 trainees took part in the survey, and the results have shown that there are areas for education and training that can be improved on for those involved in treating the disease. The project took a year to collate and present the data, and has had a significant impact on future training, with educational authorities understanding the speciality curriculum requirements which will help OMFS trainees to provide the best treatment for their patients.

Aitor undertook the project alongside his supervisor, Mr Colin Johnson, who is a Consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery at the Trust.

Upon hearing the news of his award, Aitor said:
“I feel great! I am extremely honoured to have been given this award and I feel that it is a great recognition to the hard work that I put in constantly as a speciality trainee. Mr Johnson as a supervising Consultant was key in overlooking the process and the whole skin service at ELHT provided the framework, which triggered the need to conduct such a project with an aim to improve skin cancer care to our patients overall”.
Aitor will attend the BAOMS virtual award ceremony in December to receive his prize.
