Clinical Research Start-up Seminars (CReSS) are for anyone in UHBW, the University of Bristol or the University of the West of England, Bristol, who is undertaking a new study, preparing a grant application, or wanting to know how to get started in research. The group provides guidance and peer-support for new and first-time researchers. Members of other NHS organisations in Bristol are welcome if places are available.

This session will provide an introduction to research and training funding, and in particular, the NIHR HEE Integrated Clinical and Practitioner Academic (ICA) programme for health and care professionals (other than medics and dentists). The session will provide insight from the personal experiences of an NIHR-HEE doctoral fellow and opportunity to discuss individual interests. The ICA programme is intended to develop people with the potential and aspiration to become leading practitioners and researchers, thus increasing research capacity to improve health and social care. Join us if you are interested and would like to find out more.
