Working and thriving within the dynamic environment of healthcare requires opportunities to evolve and to develop your learning over the course of your career. As a lifelong learner, this can be achieved through continuous professional development (CPD).
We offer a number of taught Master’s courses, as well as Master’s by Research degrees and PhDs in healthcare, for students to explore a research area of their choice under the guidance of an experienced supervisory team and with opportunities to work closely with the well-established research centres and institutes within the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences.
Undertaking a part-time PhD and studying on top of a busy clinical position is a challenge. Stepping away from practice to study full-time also brings significant challenges, such as loss of clinical skills. We offer a pragmatic solution: a four-year clinical doctorate so employees remain in practice and conduct a piece of research to meet clinical priorities.
We understand the importance of bringing together education, professional practice and research. We work closely with a wide range of healthcare partners to ensure that research helps us to improve our understanding and provision of healthcare and shape future healthcare services.
