Academic Review Procedure The main purpose is to help you! It also informs the ARCP

ACF’s The academic review occurs at least 1 month before the ARCP Panel consists of myself and 2 other academics from different departments The research supervisor will be invited to attend

ACF’s 5 minute power point presentation followed by 25 min discussion Questions Are you getting adequate supervision? Are you getting adequate time for research? How is your research going? How is the MRes going? How is the PhD funding process going?

What happens if I fail the academic review? –Return to the NHS I fail the ARCP? –As dictated by clinical training needs

ACL’s Induction Review within 6 months of starting in post Questions Supervisors Anticipated CCT date Support/assistance required Funding plans

ACL’s Thereafter formal yearly academic review Panel consists of myself and 2 other clinical academics from 2 different College Departments Academic supervisors will provide a report including research supervisors report ACL will provide a summary of the previous 12 months academic activity and the plan for the next 12 months

MRes in Clinical Science NIHR have requested that Universities develop formal research teaching for ACF’s It is an excellent idea because it formalises the delivery of teaching in research methods and it gives those who fail to obtain PhD funding recognition/reward for their research efforts/training
