Hi Pauline

This model is common practice in the uk. The clinical research midwife role is likely to be focused on delivering research rather than leading research. It is a good idea to keep your clinical focus at the same time as developing your research skills. 

Kind regards

Hi,

 

I’ve been looking through the archives but can’t quite find an answer so forgive me if I am repeating a question.

 

I am looking at applying for a Research Midwife role. It is complicated the way the  work is divided up but some of it will be basic “research assistant” type work but a larger amount midwifery focused. However it is with a medical school.

 

As I need to retain a practising certificate I’d be combining in the job (if it eventuates) with everyday clinical shiftwork “on the floor”.

 

Can any discuss how this works in their own situation or in positions they know of.

 

Kind regards
