The Regional PCAF Community – ‘Putting together your application’

The Regional PCAF (Pre-doctoral Clinical and Practitioner Academic Fellowship) Community are hosting a ‘Putting together your application’ event on Monday 13^th February, 12pm – 1:15pm.

The event is organised by NHIP Academy, NIHR Research Design Service NENC and NIHR Clinical Research Network NENC. It is designed to support and equip everyone, at any point on the PCAF pathway – whether you are thinking about an application, are already undertaking a PCAF or have completed one previously.

The event will not just be informative, it will provide genuine peer-support – so that colleagues are able to share ideas, hints and tips, and encourage one another throughout their pathway.

We will hear from Professor Annette Hand with some insights on what the PCAF panel is looking for, as well as current and former PCAF-holders on how to craft each part of the application.

This is a free, regional event open to all colleagues across the North East and North Cumbria and will be hosted online on MS Teams.

NHIP Academy has opened an expression of interest for a PCAF steering group, to help shape the PCAF community for the North East and North Cumbria. Please see this role description and how to apply.

This PCAF event is the second to be held. Attendees from the previous community event said:

“This event was invaluable, informative and made the PCAF and PHD journey much less scary.”

“Great event, really helpful to understand the PCAF process and how to apply.”

“Good event – wish this had been in place when I was completing my PCAF award!”

Please note we have rescheduled this community event to the 13^th February
