PG Cert In Research
Please find attached a flyer for a course many of you may be interested in. Newcastle University are offering a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Research Delivery. This is likely to be extremely useful for some people wishing to develop their research knowledge and skills. The flyer also explains the process by which people can apply for a bursary to cover the costs. Please note that we would not be able to fund this course through other sources such as the study leave budget. However, time should be allowed under the study leave process.
If you are thinking of applying then Good luck from me!

RCPCH: Ambassadors and Officer for Health Improvement
I would like to draw to your attention two college roles that people may be interested in.
Both are exciting opportunities to get involved in the college and specifically around the challenges of dealing with health inequalities and the new emerging approaches of integration of care.
The Ambassador role is targeted to help improve the profile of children’s issues in the newly formed ICS. This role will link closely to the regional Child Health & Wellbeing Network and have my full support. This would be appropriate for consultants but also, senior trainees may be interested in this.
The Officer for Health Improvement is a very important role in the college and helps pull together policy towards tackling inequalities.
I’d be delighted to speak with anyone who is potentially interested.
Kind regards
Dr Mike McKean
