Would you like the chance to learn more about clinical research, develop a project to address a clinical issue within your area, and build experience to develop a clinical academic career? 
If so, you can apply for the Chief Nurse Research Fellowship Programme 2023-4 in Somerset.
Now into its second year, this prestigious scheme, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, is sponsored by Hayley Peters, our chief nurse.

Clinical research experience and embedding this in clinical practice
Undertaking a systematic review for an agreed service improvement topic of your choice that benefits your service, ward, team, or practice area
Protected time to develop your own clinical academic pathway of learning.
