This SIF is a resource for academic trainees in Palliative Medicine for example Academic Clinical Fellows (ACF), Clinical Lecturers or equivalent and for those undertaking PhDs in the UK and Ireland. It would include doctors currently in internal medicine training in run-through palliative medicine ACF or equivalent posts.
Other palliative medicine doctors such as SAS and consultants would be eligible to be part of the forum if they are undertaking formal research training such as a research Masters / PhD or can support the aim of the group of supporting early career clinical academics.
Potentially membership would extend to other pre-specialty academic trainees or GP trainees undertaking research in palliative care. Allied healthcare professionals with associate membership would also be included if they are in a specific training pathway alongside their academic work, or research Masters / PhD or can support the aim of the group of supporting early career clinical academics.
It is a forum for peer support, networking, sharing of work and any other ideas members would find beneficial.
