PhD Programme for Primary Care Clinicians

The Primary Care Clinicians PhD programme will build a sustainable multi-professional clinical academic workforce to lead and implement research to underpin developments in primary care practice.

Annually 5 PhD studentships will be awarded to clinicians of all disciplines working in UK primary care, for example: practice nurses; health visitors; dentists, primary care pharmacists; optometrists working in primary care and general practitioners.

These studentships can be hosted at one of the 10 primary care research departments who are part of this consortium.
