Research Roles Within The NHS

Academics with a specialism in the field of medicine or biology may find employment outside of Higher Education in The National Health Service, which employs over 2.1 million people in the UK in total, including clinical academics. It can be a very rewarding field to work in, with many opportunities for career development and the chance to have a direct impact on healthcare in the community and across the nation.

Careers in the NHS

Those with research experience ( PhD students ) and a strong science or medicine background can find work in clinical research for the NHS, especially in the area of biochemistry and related fields. Healthcare Science in the NHS encompasses a variety of jobs that will likely appeal to academics who want to move away from work in Higher Education. Opportunities in every field of healthcare are available, and a strong science degree is essential if you are to apply.

The NHS operates a graduate training scheme in management. The requirements include a degree with second class honours or a postgraduate qualification. Management in the NHS combines leadership skills with health care management techniques.

Typical jobs in the National Health Service for graduates include:

• Clinical research fellow
• Clinical academic
• Therapist and related roles

Finding a job in the NHS

The NHS website offers a great deal of useful information for potential employees. You might also want to examine your prospects through the ‘ What Can I Do With My Degree? ‘ website. The graduate scheme can be applied for directly .

Research positions are regularly advertised on jobs.ac.uk in the ‘ Health and Medical ‘ section. You can also find out about jobs on the websites of individual hospitals (although most positions will also be advertised on the main NHS website, or external sites such as jobs.ac.uk ).

Benefits of working for the National Health Service

Working in research and scientific roles in the NHS requires making use of the investigative and analytical skills that are gained from PhD study . Many people who have made the move from academia to the NHS cite the direct connection to patient care and the practical nature of the work as being positive factors. It can be rewarding to see theoretical study come to fruition in real terms.

National Health Service salary scales are relatively good; remuneration for a Biomedical Scientist, for example, can rise as high as £65,000 at senior levels, while consultants can expect a salary nearer the £100,000 mark.

Former academics and PhD/Postgraduate students have skills and experience that are prized in NHS roles such as:

• Research experience
• Analytical thinking
• Carrying out work independently
• Handling sensitive information
• Communication skills (writing, presenting findings etc.)

Extra £30m a year to boost research careers for healthcare professionals

• 17 August 2023

NIHR will spend an additional £30 million per year to increase research opportunities. It will include funding for a range of new and expanding programmes of activity. This will enable more healthcare professionals (HCPs) to include research in their careers.

This funding will help a wide range of HCPs across England, including:

• allied health professionals (AHPs)
• pharmacists
• healthcare scientists

The support aims to help them develop as highly skilled researchers and research leaders.

There are complex healthcare challenges currently facing the health and care sector. This can be overcome with a multi-professional approach to research. Research-active roles can also increase job satisfaction. The extra funding aims to help enhance staff retention within the NHS. It also supports a key priority of the UK Clinical Resilience, Recovery and Growth (RRG) Programme to develop a sustainable and supported research workforce.

Professor Ruth Endacott, NIHR Director of Nursing and Midwifery, said: “It is crucial that more healthcare professionals develop their academic skills and build careers that balance their clinical work with conducting research.

“Undertaking research has been a really exciting and satisfying aspect of my career so I’m really pleased that we’re able to offer more opportunities to healthcare professionals, and ultimately deliver better care for our patients and the public.”

Current numbers are low

Registered HCPs represent the largest single workforce in the NHS. But the proportion that facilitates, delivers or leads research remains low. In 2017 clinical academics represented 4.6% of NHS medical consultants. This is less than 0.1% of the nursing, midwifery and allied health professions (AHPs).

NIHR and NHS England are working in partnership to overcome the barriers to research. The collaboration is focused on increasing the awareness of research careers at early career stages. It also includes providing a clear framework for post-doctoral clinical or practitioner academics.

Increased investment to strengthen leadership and visibility

The NIHR currently provides initiatives to support HCPs to develop research careers. The additional £30 million a year will:

• strengthen opportunities available
• expand existing schemes
• introduce new initiatives

NHS England remains a critical delivery partner to ensure these measures are implemented.

Some of these initiatives include:

• more undergraduates able to access NIHR’s new national engagement programme, INSIGHT. It will expand to more than 300 places a year to attract students into research careers
• early career researchers will have access to more internship opportunities and bursaries. An existing pre-doctoral fellowship will expand. It will accommodate wider clinical professions working in primary care. Two existing schemes will expand, providing opportunities to gain new skills. They will also offer support when developing applications for further funding
• a new fellowship, New Generation Senior Clinical and Practitioner Research Award, will prioritise HCPs at a post-doctoral level. It will provide flexible funding to balance clinical and research commitments over 5 years
• a new Clinical Research Leaders Programme for AHPs will be created. It will tackle the visibility of AHP leadership. It will also develop research leaders to influence change across organisations. This will be supported by a new NIHR Assistant Director for Allied Health Professions . These two initiatives mirror successful support already established for nurses and midwives
• new NIHR Regional Research Leadership Offices will be established. They will promote and coordinate opportunities for HCPs at a regional level

Professor Anne-Maree Keenan OBE, Associate Dean for NIHR Academy, said: “Since its establishment in 2006, the NIHR has been pivotal in supporting HCPs build research-active careers. This increased investment will create a highly expanded community of research HCPs to sit alongside the already established medical academic communities, to effectively work together to deliver higher quality research.”

Dr Joanne Cooper, Head of Nursing Research (Research Transformation), NHS England, said: “We know patients in research-active health and care settings have better outcomes and receive better care, which is why it’s so important that more nurses, midwives and other health care professionals have opportunities to lead, deliver and participate in research.

"We are pleased to have worked with the NIHR team on developing these opportunities and welcome their significant contribution to the Chief Nursing Officer for England and Chief Midwifery Officer for England’s Strategic Plans for Research.”
