You may be signposted to the research and innovation team, or provided with the generic email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your interest does not fall within a review period do not wait until the next one, let your manager know and make contact with your R&amp;I team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye out for information on research and innovation nationally on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hee.nhs.uk\/our-work\/research-innovation-strategy\">NHS Research Innovation Strategy<\/a>. One of their current objectives is to develop a multi-professional Clinical Academic Careers Framework for patient benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join an Early Career Research (ECR) group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ECR groups are for people in the early stages of their research career. Some organisations have ECR groups or if you are studying you may wish to join one at the local university. Check within your organisation for ECR or research conversations such as&nbsp; professional\/student groups such as RCN Research Society \/ CAHPR;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nihr.ac.uk\/career-development\/health-and-care-research-introduction\/your-path-in-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Your Path to Research<\/a>; NIHR Academy;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arc-nwc.nihr.ac.uk\/insight\/insight-inspiring-students-into-research-scheme-northwest-region\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NIHR Insight Programme North West<\/a>; and Matrons &amp; Healthcare Leaders via X &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/matronsresearch\">@MatronsResearch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep checking the research updates within your organisation, as an ECR group may be implemented in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set up a research profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research profiles are an opportunity to present yourself and your research to a wider audience and ensure you get credit for your research outputs. There are many different profile options available &#8211; pick ones that work for you and your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get in touch with your research and innovation team to check which research profiles are approved by your organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to people who can help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Within your organisation there may be staff with research and innovation workload and careers. Some may be professors, hold a doctorate, be consultant nurses, midwives or allied health professionals, be advanced clinical practitioners, or have undertaken a masters degree in research. Make contact with them and ask them how theystarted on their journey. They may even ask you to join their team or group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group downloadable-resource uos-bg--irwell-blue p-3 ps-md-4 ps-lg-5 my-5 is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns mb-0 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0 mb-3\">Download resource<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Download, share, and use them as often as you like.
