REDiC aims to empower ethnic minority health and care professionals and early career researchers by providing them with the tools, insights, and support needed to advance their careers in clinical and applied research. Our goal is to inspire and enable individuals to engage more actively in research, enhance their career development, and increase their representation in the health and care research community.
NIHR Insight programme
The programme blends several approaches to develop leadership skills, including opportunities to lead individual improvement and leadership projects, and gain experience in building local and regional networks. It will be run on an annual basis, with one intake per year.
NIHR Mentoring Programme
The NIHR Mentoring Programme supports all health and care professions. You can benefit from 1-2-1 support for your career development, including time for personal growth and reflection. Both mentees and mentors gain new perspectives, fresh ideas and expand their professional networks.
