GOSH BRC Post-Doctoral support
for wider healthcare professional –
Intermediate Fellowship
The Intermediate Fellowship scheme is designed to facilitate post-doctoral
wider healthcare professionals to take the next step in their clinical academic
research career. This new scheme by the BRC provided funding opportunity to
apply for protected time to deliver research, demonstrating how this fellowship
would enable them to achieve the next step in their research career and
contribute to the wider vision of GOSH as a Research Hospital. The Fellowship
provides funding for salary costs for up to 50% FTE for between 12-18 months.
Applicants were encouraged to undertake clinical responsibilities alongside their
Fellowship for the remaining 50%FTE, to promote and strengthen their role as a
clinical academic.
Two applicants were successful in achieving an Intermediate Fellowship:
1.
Dr Emma Shkurka. Specialist Paediatric Critical Care Physiotherapist &
Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Team Lead. Dr Shkurka9s programme of
research and aim for this fellowship is to benefit the most critically ill patients at
GOSH. Directly impacting patient care, through investigating the safety and
effectiveness of airway clearance treatments for mechanically ventilated
children. Study design. This is a cross-sectional, multi-centre, observational
point prevalence study, using routinely collected de-identified data only.
2.
Dr Richard Ishitt. Senior Clinical Perfusion Scientist. Dr Ishitt9s fellowship will
build on the current architecture of GOSH DRIVE and the Digital Research
Environment (DRE). The project would use routinely collected GOSH data, the
machine learning models of which, could improve clinical provision of Perfusion
to paediatric centres across the globe, using data-derived evidence gleaned
from a unique dataset curated at GOSH for the past 23 years.
