Experiences of AHPs in predoctoral fellowships

CAHPR North West are hosting our next CAHPR webinar on the experiences of AHPs in predoctoral fellowships. 

This webinar will be presented by Victoria Whiteley and Laura McGarrigle.

Victoria and Laura say: “We’ll share our experience of navigating our research journey from a clinical role, focusing on pre-doctoral fellowships and next steps. We’ll provide honest reflections and practicalities of clinicians trying to develop their role in research.”

This webinar is aimed at AHPs looking at developing their own research ideas and considering a predoctoral fellowship application.
