These prestigious Chief Nurse Research Fellow roles provide the opportunity for bands 5 and 6 nursing, midwifery and allied health professional staff to concentrate on developing their clinical academic careers while retaining their clinical skills in their current practice.
The Chief Nurse Research Fellow Scheme provides funding for day release to enable the CNRF to concentrate their protected time of one day per week (for six months) or one day per fortnight (for 12 months) on three key themes:
- Clinical research trials experience and embedding this in clinical practice
- An agreed service improvement project of your choice that benefits your department, ward, care group
- Protected time to develop your own clinical academic pathway of learning
