We run a successful, well established and innovative Doctoral (PhD) Training Program (DTP) that encourages nurses and allied health professionals to remain in clinical practice and actively involved in patient care, while pursuing doctoral studies. This program is modelled on the highly successful clinical DTP model used by the medical profession. Over the four years, the PhD candidates remain in clinical practice for 50% of their time and spend the remaining 50% on their translational research which is directly related to their clinical work and has a recognized benefit to patients and the NHS.
The DTP is overseen by two experienced post-graduate tutors, who are also Professors in OxINMAHR, and whose role is to monitor progress and oversee a comprehensive training program that is delivered at University, Faculty and OxINMAHR levels.
