Clinical Academic Training Hub

Events

Currently, Exeter hosts two mandatory meetings per year, which allow clinical academic trainees to meet each other, to undergo required training (induction etc) and to have the opportunities to present and discuss their research. Trainees are strongly encouraged to join our active peer network, which includes clinical academic trainees in all years of their training. This provides an important resource for advice and support.

Throughout the year, ad-hoc seminars and workshops are run to support clinical academic trainees in progressing to the next steps of their career. These include topics such as ‘preparing an application for an ACL.’

All events will be posted on this page so keep an eye out for these.  

 

We are delighted to invite you to the IAT ACF and CL Induction and Networking Day in collaboration with the University of Plymouth on Wednesday 10th September. Please hold the date. An agenda will follow shortly. Please note there will be induction style material for the new IAT trainees, with alternative workshop style break out rooms for the current IAT and ICA trainees.

 

ACFs and CLs are all members of the NIHR Academy. The annual conference registration has now opened for the conference taking place in a hybrid format at The Queens Hotel in Leeds and online on 21 and 22 October 2025.

“These events are really important for us as they provide a rare opportunity to network, foster collaborations and learn from the experiences of other clinical academics. They also allow us to focus on training and development issues that are specific to the clinical academic career pathway.”
