Exploring the relationship between health system responsiveness and the implementation of person centred integrated care for older people with frailty

Interested in developing your clinical academic career in the care of older people and work alongside professionally qualified academics and senior clinicians in older persons care - then this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

The project is a collaboration between Bournemouth University and Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust. Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust has a successful track record in innovative clinical responses to the needs of older people living with frailty. This is an opportunity for ambitious candidates wishing to develop a clinical academic career. The student will be funded over four years, working closely with academic and practice partners.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to develop your clinical academic profile by completing a full-time PhD over 4 years. The 4 year programme will consist of working 3 days a week on the PhD and 2 days a week in clinical practice over 4 years. This is ideally suited for those who wish to retain or develop their professional practice skills whilst undertaking a PhD study. For those seeking this option applicants must have a UK registered health professional qualification.
