Are you a healthcare professional interested in or engaged in research? Do you want to learn how you can integrate research into your clinical practice and make a real impact on patient care? Do you want to know how to get funded to start or to continue your research career?
Join us for the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Healthcare Professional Showcase Event.
This event is designed for nurses, midwives, allied health professionals (AHPs), and other healthcare professionals working at Manchester BRC partner Trusts* who want to explore opportunities in research within Manchester BRC and hear inspiring career journeys from those who work with us.
