Developing our People

“As a developing research methodologist, I use intelligent scanning methodologies to identify and monitor emerging healthcare technologies to address health and care priorities. Leveraging on my recently awarded NIHR Pre-Doctoral Fellowship, I have an opportunity to advance horizon scanning methods to integrate diverse data sources and create models to predict how early life mental health shapes longer term health outcomes.”

“The IO has been a key development hub during my PhD. I am learning horizon scanning methods with expert methodological guidance and have a knowledgeable team of data analysts around me. The working environment constantly challenges me to adopt and apply new methods. To make things even better, the team is one of the most welcoming I have ever worked with.”

“The capacity building environment that the IO provides has made a huge difference to my ability and self-confidence. I have completed a Masters degree; supported clinical academics, colleagues and students in various teaching capacities; conducted a cross-disciplinary PhD; accessed both internal and external courses; applied for grants at an early career stage and expanded my responsibilities across our multidisciplinary team! I have always had constructive guidance and direction with the flexibility to tailor my own career path.”

“The IO have created an ideal environment for researchers to grow personally and professionally. Training and development is at the forefront and we are given the necessary time and space to pursue opportunities. The team is made up of a mix of early career and experienced researchers, meaning that supervision and helpful advice is never far away. From the application process, up to the recent commencement of my NIHR Pre-Doctoral Fellowship, I have received invaluable support and created a network of peers.”
