This podcast forms a part of an ongoing series which aims to highlight the work of early career researchers, via the BJSM PhD Academy Awards, and in this series, we will also be asking the guests how they first got involved in research, why they decided to do a PhD, what they loved and what they found most challenging, and their career pathway or plans post-PhD. There are many ways to for clinicians to be involved in research, and we hope to highlight these along the way.
Brooke also highlights a new exciting initiative – The Training and Career Development Network developed by the IOC Research Centres.
