Despite growing evidence of the impact that clinical academic (CA) staff have on patient care and clinical practice, there are disproportionately low numbers of nurses, allied health professionals (AHPs) and other healthcare professionals in CA joint roles, compared to their medical colleagues.
To describe the initial development of a CA career pathway for nurses, AHPs and other healthcare professionals in a Community and Mental Health NHS Trust.
Kotter's 8-Step Change Model was used to expand opportunities and research culture across an NHS Trust.
A variety of capacity and capability initiatives at different academic levels were created to support CA development and to complement those available externally. These opportunities were underpinned by a research and development strategy, senior leadership buy-in, manager and clinical staff support, and targeted organisation-wide communication.
The ongoing development of innovative CA opportunities in the Trust, alongside greater support for staff interested in pursuing CA careers, has resulted in a growing number of individuals successful in developing as CAs. This has led to a growth in research culture in the organisation and a greater understanding of what CA staff can bring to patient care, the clinical service and the wider organisation.
尽管越来越多的证据表明临床学术（CA）人员对患者护理和临床实践有影响，但与医学同事相比，担任CA联合职位的护士、专职医疗人员（AHP）和其他医疗保健专业人员的数量却少得不成比例。
描述国民保健服务（NHS）社区与心理健康信托基金中护士、AHP和其他医疗保健专业人员CA职业发展路径的初步发展情况。
采用科特的八步变革模型在NHS信托基金中拓展机会和研究文化。
在不同学术层面开展了各种能力提升举措，以支持CA发展并补充外部提供的资源。这些机会以研发战略、高层领导支持、管理人员和临床工作人员的支持以及有针对性的全组织沟通为基础。
信托基金中不断发展创新的CA机会，以及对有志于从事CA职业的工作人员给予更多支持，使得越来越多的人成功发展成为CA人员。这促进了该组织研究文化的发展，并使人们更清楚地了解CA人员能为患者护理、临床服务及更广泛的组织带来什么。
