In order to retain and develop pre-doctoral and doctoral staff, we sought to establish and implement a model for supporting postdoctoral clinical academic careers at our hospital.
Doctorally-prepared nurses can raise clinical practice standards, but there is a deficit of career opportunities and post-doctoral positions. This will inevitably impact delivering the evidence for improving patient outcomes and service delivery. It is therefore imperative that post-doctoral nursing and allied professional post-doctoral clinical academic career opportunities are developed and embedded in practice.
We describe the development and implementation of a model to provide and embed post-doctoral clinical academic roles at our hospital.
A multidisciplinary group devised the model which was approved by the Hospital Executive Board.
The model includes having a bespoke plan for each individual, planning the post-doctoral role at time of PhD planning, providing 1 day a week protected research time for a minimum of 12 months after PhD completion, having an appropriate honorary academic contract at a partner University, and providing integrated clinical and academic supervision throughout. Other key components include senior clinical and Executive Board support and an existing vibrant research culture at our organisation.
The St Bartholomew's Hospital model, focusing on individualised posts integrating clinical and academic roles to address service needs, offers a novel approach to supporting post-doctoral clinical academic careers in a clinical setting.
Since doctorally-prepared nurses can raise clinical practice standards we developed a sustainable infrastructure to increase our postdoctoral nursing and allied professional workforce. This model could provide a framework for other hospitals to embed postdoctoral clinical academic careers in practice.
为了留住和发展博士前和博士人员，我们试图在我们的医院建立和实施支持博士后临床学术职业的模式。
博士学位的护士可以提高临床实践标准，但职业机会和博士后职位短缺。这将不可避免地影响提供改善患者结果和服务交付的证据。因此，必须开发和嵌入博士后护理和相关专业博士后临床学术职业机会。
我们描述了开发和实施模型的情况，该模型旨在为我们的医院提供和嵌入博士后临床学术角色。
一个多学科小组设计了该模型，该模型已获得医院执行委员会的批准。
该模型包括为每个人制定定制计划，在攻读博士学位时规划博士后角色，在完成博士学位后至少 12 个月内每周提供 1 天的受保护研究时间，在合作大学拥有适当的名誉学术合同，并提供整个过程中的综合临床和学术监督。其他关键组成部分包括高级临床和执行委员会的支持以及我们组织中现有的充满活力的研究文化。
圣巴塞洛缪医院的模式侧重于整合临床和学术角色以满足服务需求的个性化职位，为在临床环境中支持博士后临床学术职业提供了一种新方法。
由于博士学位的护士可以提高临床实践标准，因此我们开发了可持续的基础设施来增加我们的博士后护理和相关专业劳动力。该模型可以为其他医院在实践中嵌入博士后临床学术职业提供框架。
