Introducing new national master’s level clinical research delivery leadership qualifications to prospective learners from all healthcare professions
The NIHR and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, led by the Royal College of Physicians worked with higher education institutions to create the Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework, a national framework of Master’s level clinical research delivery leadership qualifications.
The qualifications are designed for experienced healthcare practitioners from all professional backgrounds, who aspire to take on leadership roles in clinical research delivery. They are suitable for those who have no or limited research experience and those currently working in research delivery.
About the qualifications
All the qualifications run annually and start in September/October of each year. They are usually completed over a period of 10 months, taking 3 years to obtain the full Master’s qualification. Applications for the academic year 2024/25 are open now and will close in August or September, depending on the institution delivering the qualification.
The qualifications are designed for learners with busy work schedules who will be studying part time.
