GOSH Academic Training Event

The National Institute for Health Research Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR GOSH BRC) is excited to host its next Academic Training Event on Saturday 19^th – Sunday 20^th November 2022 for early career researchers from across the UK who are working to improve the lives of children and young people through clinical and laboratory-based research programmes. The event programme has been developed with a wide range of disciplines and specialities in mind, including clinicians, non-clinical researchers, nurses, AHPs, pharmacists, dentists and health care scientists. There will be three sessions in the programme aiming to support attendees as they move towards becoming independent researchers.

Each session will feature a workshop as well as presentations from speakers including Professor Lucy Chappell (Chief Executive Officer of the NIHR, Professor of Obstetrics at King’s College London and Honorary Consultant Obstetrician) and Professor Sir Terence Stephenson (Professor of Child Health at the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, Chair of the Health Research Authority for England and Honorary Consultant Paediatrician).

To get the most out of the programme, attendees will be post graduate and either a postdoctoral researcher or towards the end of their PhD with prior experience in a relevant profession (e.g., nurses, AHPs, pharmacists, laboratory technicians and others), although all applications are welcome. Please get in touch if you have any questions about this. It will be a residential event and will be held at Ashridge Business School, a picturesque country estate and stately home in Hertfordshire: Wedding & Conference Venue in Hertfordshire: Ashridge House.  We have space for around 50 attendees with accommodation for Saturday night and food provided at a subsidised cost of just £70.

Further information about the event can be found on our website and please forward the email to any colleagues who you think may be interested in attending: NIHR GOSH BRC Academic Training Weekend | Great Ormond Street Hospital
