ABOUT US

NMAHP Research Training (Scotland) Consortium has developed this site for Postdoctoral candidates who are interested in applying for this single fellowship which commence in January 2007. This scheme is funded by NHS Education for Scotland, The Scottish Executive Health Department and The Health Foundation.

This training scheme will provide the highest possible quality of experience for the successful Postdoctoral research fellows. By developing leadership in research within fellows and retaining them within NMAHP practice, they will have research as a key component of their activity while staying in clinical practice. This scheme, together with other NMAHP initiatives involving our Consortium, will provide Scotland with its next generation of principal investigators, strengthen existing research collaborations, develop new ones and allow focused research in NMAHP to develop rapidly over the next five years.

This Consortium includes the most progressive Departments of Nursing and Midwifery in Scotland (in Dundee, Stirling, Aberdeen and RGU) with established systematic programmes of research and includes the emerging Department of Health Sciences (Allied Health Professionals) in The Robert Gordon University.

The combined expertise offered by the Universities of Dundee, St Andrews, Stirling, Aberdeen and Robert Gordon will allow PhD students and Postdoctoral fellows to access leaders in the fields of Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions research. Fellows will have the opportunity to benefit from the theoretical and methodological input of experts from supporting departments. Supporting departments include:

In partnership with NHS boards across Scotland, the Consortium will offer Postdoctoral fellows access to a unique and extensive range of clinical areas (from inner city to remote and rural settings, across primary, secondary and tertiary care settings).
