BRAVE (Breaking Ground in Your Practitioner-Researcher Career) is a unique leadership development programme from Newcastle Health Research Partnership Academy and the University of Leeds, designed for postdoctoral allied health professionals, nurses and healthcare scientists who are pursuing innovative practitioner-researcher or clinical-academic careers that span both healthcare and academic settings.
Underpinned by emotional intelligence and effective influencing, the nine-month programme helps participants develop the strategic insight, confidence and skills needed to navigate complex organisational, policy and professional environments, while shaping new roles that combine research and practice.
Through BRAVE, participants gain:
– A deeper understanding of the systems, structures and dynamics involved in developing practitioner-researcher careers.
– The ability to clearly articulate their purpose, value and career ambitions.
– Experience of negotiating and influencing across healthcare and academic settings.
– A clear plan for progressing their career, alongside ongoing support and peer networks.
– Greater confidence and clarity in their chosen career pathway.
The programme is aimed at professionals who are often pioneering new career paths within their organisations and need to work with senior leaders across multiple sectors to create opportunities that bridge research and healthcare practice.
