Really enjoyed this afternoon. Hadn't been sure what to expect, but eager to network with the other students, take teaching opportunities and always happy to hear NIHR experts talk about their fellowships - and get excited by the possible prospects! The biggest thing for me is to link with other post-docs in a similar situation all struggling to find their path and become true clinical academics. Quite interested that I am the only nurse on the bridging.

Mentorship - my first meeting with my LSBU mentor - 30th April 21

# data[].attributes.body
This meeting didn't go as expected. My mentor was not conversant with the scheme and expectations. The conversation only lasted as long as it did for me to explain my understanding of the scheme and how I thought he could help me. We concluded with him saying he would talk to the scheme leads. Felt a little deflated as would be really useful to have a mentor outside of my Trust, someone who doesn't know me and could give an opinion on my project ideas and ways I can improve my chances.

Do non-medical clinical academics add value through leadership to transformational change within the NHS?

The motion ‘non-medical clinical academics add substantial value through leadership to transformational change within the NHS’ will be explored through lively debate, with in-depth arguments presented for and against the motion.

OMG, this was amazing. Dr Jackie McRae, Dr Tim Noblet, Dr Donna Kennedy and Dr Dominik Havsteen-Franklin. Chaired by Dr Jennifer Sutton. They did so well, and put the fear of dread in me for the future debate that I am supposed to be involved with! I also made a new contact, who put a comment in the chat of a very similar issues that I am going through.

This is half of the £20,000 I need, which would be a quarter of my salary, so 25%. I was told I would not get this as they have never given these out before for matched funding, so, so pleased that I was successful - I heard my application was strong, and some others did not even get small amounts of funding to support inhouse training courses! :-) I'm sure being on this scheme helped my success.

Dear Polly,

I would love your help and to ask if you would consider being a co-author with us for a review article (deadline 30th Sept for completed manuscript). We have been approached to write a review for Clin Exp Rheumatology as it becomes the home journal of the iMyoS society for an inaugural issue on myositis. Our topic will be juvenile dermatomyositis. We would love you in particular to write a section on psychosocial aspects / HRQoL within the context of long-term outcome, and to also ensure we have an appropriate MDT approach to other sections.

I attach our current proposal / review outline. Any suggestions for change welcome. The word limit is apparently 4000 words – so each section will be relatively short.

We hope that you will consider joining us.

Let us know your thoughts.

Many thanks,

Best wishes

Dear Dr. Livermore,

I hope you are well. We are preclinical medical students, at Cambridge and UCL respectively, and both were part of the BRC-organised summer studentship at the GOS ICH over the past two months. We were wondering if you might be able to act as a supervisor for an independent survey-based research project we are thinking of carrying out. We were both present in your very insightful (and moving!) seminar early on during our studentships and felt your experience with survey research would be very valuable for this project........

I agreed with Paul's tip that 'bringing people together is essential' and I shared Ruth's worry about the people who are unsuccessful on this pathway. I support some individuals to apply, who are then unsuccessful and it is knowing what else we can do to support them both at coping with the rejection but also moving forwards. It was a pity the last speaker couldn't make it as I was looking forward to hearing from her, but still two great speakers.

|  Dear Dr Livermore, I am very pleased to inform you that your application to Round 7 of the NIHR Development and Skills Enhancement (DSE) Award has been successful and approved for funding by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).  Feedback The review summary attached contains feedback from the shortlisting stage of the process.  Please also find attached your Letter of Intent to Fund.  If you wish to accept this award, please complete the online award acceptance form which can be accessed through your ARAMIS account. You will need to go to 'My Reports' and select the 'Award Acceptance' report by clicking ‘Edit’, and following the online instructions. The sooner this form is completed, the sooner we are able to prepare a contract for your award. Please note, we will be organising contracts in date order according to start date. It can take up to two months to get a contract agreed and finalised.  The uptake of the award and the associated funding is subject to the following terms: 1.    Awards are granted to individuals on the condition that any component activity requiring ethical approval from the Research Ethics Committee (REC) is sought. Some aspects of your research may not be able to commence prior to obtaining the necessary approval, therefore you should immediately begin this process if you have not done so already. If your local Research and Development office is unsure whether your activities require REC approval, please contact the HRA as soon as possible using the link/email address provided below:  http://www.hra.nhs.uk/about-the-hra/our-committees/research-ethics-committees-rec s/ Email: HRA.Queries@nhs.net If other ethical approvals (e.g. University specific ethical approval) is also required, please begin the process of obtaining these by contacting the appropriate departments and/or individuals.  Further details of NIHR's requirements in terms of ethical approvals can be found within the online Award Acceptance form. 2.    Individuals will be required to reconfirm the details of funding requested prior to contract documents being completed, especially if the original finance forms are found to have errors or items that do not fit with the funding structure of this scheme. NIHR Academy reserves the right to reject any costs that it considers unreasonable or not fully justified. Any costs identified as NHS Service Support Costs will need to be met by local clinical research networks and will not be funded by this scheme.

This came totally out of the blue. I had joined the inaugural meeting with 40 other individuals, but did not expect them to approach ME as someone they would want to join them! I'm surely not as worthy!

Such an honor, I will really need to brush up on my phenomenology now!

All of these opportunities are in part related to the post doc-bridging scheme because of my increase in confidence, the appreciation of the importance of saying yes to these events and the value of collaborations.

Learning - My debate for the impossible motion - 19th Nov 2021

I had been absolutely dreading this!! When the other team held their debate earlier this year, they did such a great job, we all felt there was no way we could compete. I also had been allocated the side of 'for' the motion, which I didn't agree with and could find very little evidence for. As it turned out, I think it went ok, and although James and I lost, I quite enjoyed it - well at least after my bit was done!

Today we gave our final presentations. Mine was more on what I have learnt and what opportunities I have had, whereas others were more focused on their plans for the future. This last year has brought many personal challenges for me: losing both my parents, my auntie and my father-in-law, all within 6 months of each other and to work in such a crazy clinical role in a global pandemic, but this program has been a positive intervention: in peer support, distraction and an increase in confidence. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to have time to reflect, learn and consider the future over the course of the last year. I have also made some good friends and realise that the many challenges I may feel, are all often shared challenges. I have also enjoyed my time with Suzanne and Adele and want to say thank you for having me on this program.
