This summer, we are shining a spotlight on the NHRP Academy and the significant impact it has had on supporting the next generation of health and care researchers and academic leaders. The Academy provides tailored career development support, helping individuals access training opportunities, develop new skills, secure fellowships and funding, and progress along their academic career pathways. It offers expert advice, application support, interview preparation, and valuable connections across the health and care research community. As part of this Summer Spotlight webinar, attendees will hear from two individuals who have directly benefited from the NHRP Academy, sharing their personal experiences and how the Academy has supported their professional growth and career progression. Their stories will showcase the real impact of the Academy’s nurturing and collaborative approach, inspiring others to explore the opportunities available to help them achieve their own career ambitions.
The hosts are :
Dr Wezi Sendama a consultant in respiratory medicine at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) Newcastle
Dr Simon Hackett a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Applied Mental Health Research and newly appointed Deputy Dean of Clinical Academic Development
