This course is aimed at experienced healthcare practitioners. Applicants may be from any registered healthcare discipline, such as nursing, midwifery, medicine, pharmacy, and the allied health care professions (including healthcare scientists), or have worked in a relevant role with equivalent experience of clinical research for at least two years (e.g. clinical trials manager, clinical research practitioners, university postdoctoral researcher). You must also provide details of a proposed supervisor for the Research Practice Experience 2 module. This should be someone with experience of leading networked clinical research, and capable of supervising staff on networked clinical research projects. More information about Research Practice Experience Supervisors is available on the Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework website. In order to meet the academic entry requirements for this programme you should have a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree with a final mark of at least 60% or above in the UK undergraduate marking scheme. If you are currently studying at postgraduate level, you should be achieving an average of at least 50% or above in the UK postgraduate marking scheme. If you do not meet the normal entry requirements you should pay particular attention in preparing your supporting statement and CV to ensure that you draw attention to evidence of potential success at graduate level. This might include publications, preparation of substantial reports or active participation in networked clinical research. Proposed RPE2 Supervisor – Students will undertake the practical Research Practice Experience 2 (RPE2) module whilst on the course. Applicants are expected to provide details of a proposed supervisor for the RPE2 module. You must submit details of your proposed RPE2 supervisor with your application in the Admissions portal. RPE2 supervisors are experienced clinical researchers who are working on a research study(/ies) within an NIHR Local Clinical Research Network as either a Chief or Principal Investigator. They will work with you to identify both your learning needs and the ways in which your Trust can facilitate your learning. They will support you throughout the module and complete an end of RPE2 report to confirm that you are able to demonstrate the capabilities in practice identified in the NIHR-AoMRC Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework. If you are unable to locate a supervisor at the point of application, we will provide prospective students with support to locate a supervisor.
