Research is no longer seen as an activity for a small number of specialists. There is increasing recognition that research and innovation should be embedded into routine clinical work.
Clinical academic careers in nursing, midwifery and allied health professions (NMAHPs) integrate clinical practice, research and education. They give you the opportunity to investigate questions that emerge in everyday care, generate evidence and bring that learning back into practice. In doing so, you enhance patient care and service delivery while developing your own expertise and professional growth.
