UK Dementia Trials Network Clinical Fellowships

  • Approach: Apprenticeship model, practical exposure, and leadership development. Fellows act as ambassadors, contribute to guidelines, and mentor others.
  • Up to 2 years FTE salary (consultant level), flexible duration, and support for training activities.

The UK dementia trials ecosystem faces significant challenges: 

  • lack of career progression pathways
  • Shortage of nurses, CIs/PIs, clinical fellows, allied health professionals, pharmacists, radiologists, coordinators, and administrators
  • Insufficient workforce capacity and capability to deliver complex trials
  • Need for a critical mass of expertise to allow sites to self-sustain and grow
