Clinical Scholar Awards celebrate continued success

The Clinical Scholar Awards, established by HEE in 2012, provide funding and mentoring to front-line healthcare professionals who wish to pursue an academic career alongside their clinical practice.

As well as benefiting from 48 days paid release from clinical duties, participants also receive structured teaching to provide clinicians with a basic grounding in research methods, while dedicated academic mentors provide one-to-one support and feedback to help them gain the research knowledge and skills they need to successfully complete their research project.
