Introduction

This guidance has been produced to support the selection of individuals for NIHR Clinical Lectureship (CL) and NIHR-recognised, locally-funded CL posts as part of Integrated Academic Training (IAT).

Applicants for an NIHR CL will be those in specialist training, or GPs who have completed their vocational training, that have completed a higher research degree. 

The CL award provides a maximum of 4 years’ funding. CLs combine 50% clinical specialty training (clinical service provision for GPs) with 50% academic training. The CL provides opportunities for post-doctoral research and facilitates applications for further research funding for doctors working towards completion of specialty training.

Background

The NIHR CL is one phase of the Integrated Academic Training Pathway recommended in the report Medically- and dentally-qualified academic staff: Recommendations for training the researchers and educators of the future. This report was produced by a joint Sub-Committee of the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) and the NHS Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) to recommend initiatives that integrate the development of academic skills with each of the key stages of a clinician’s career.

The CL represents the second substantive phase of integrated clinical and academic training, which is intended to follow on from the Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) phase, when the trainee is in possession of a relevant PhD/MD. CLs are intended for those who can demonstrate outstanding potential through success at doctoral research that show further potential for development as a clinical academic in research and/or educational research.

Principles and Obligations

The NIHR, and other funders, have created a set of Principles and Obligations that all UK institutions and clinical trainees in receipt of nationally competitive funding for clinical academic research training are to adhere to. 

Clinical academic training must operate within a mentored, trainee-centred framework that is overseen by the University Medical Dean through a designated academic lead and the Postgraduate Dean. This training tripartite structure involves (1) the academic institution, (2) the NHS and (3) the trainee, and is responsible for adhering to the key features that are described in full in the Principles and Obligations Document.

Timetable

The 2022 NIHR CL recruitment window opens on 7 March 2022 and closes on 1 September 2023. Candidates for the 2022 NIHR CLs must not commence in post before 1 April 2022 and must be active in post no later than 1 September 2023.

Eligibility

NIHR CL posts are only available to medically-qualified candidates. Non-medical healthcare professions should reference the HEE/NIHR Integrated Clinical Academic (ICA) Programme.

Doctors wishing to apply for an NIHR CL must already hold a higher research degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) in a relevant subject area and must be at a minimum level of ST3.

Specialist Registrars (SpR) or Specialty Registrars (StR) may apply to this scheme. 

General practitioners (GPs) that have completed their clinical training may apply to this scheme. 

Doctors that have already completed one NIHR CL may not apply for another, but may apply for a locally-funded Clinical Lectureship.

Candidates with less than 1 year to gaining a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) may be more suited to an NIHR Advanced Fellowship, or other post-doctoral fellowship, rather than an NIHR CL.

Candidates that are close to gaining CCT are eligible to be appointed to an NIHR CL; however, they will automatically be considered ineligible for an Extension beyond CCT.

Candidates may only apply if they have already submitted their PhD or MD thesis at the time of application. If the candidate’s thesis has not been submitted by the application closing date, then the candidate will be deemed ineligible. Successful candidates may not take up their post until their PhD or MD has been fully awarded. If this will not be before the 1 September 2023 deadline, then the candidate will be deemed ineligible for the 2022 round.

Doctors with specialist/ty experience that meet the entry criteria into specialty training may apply to this scheme; however, to take up an academic CL post (NIHR CL or locally-funded CL) they must demonstrate clinical competence for the award of a national training number (NTN). If a current NTN is not held, candidates will need to clinically benchmark before taking up the post. Clinical benchmarking can be achieved through application for specialty training within the national recruitment window where the minimal appointable score must be achieved. Trainees are responsible for ensuring that their clinical application is submitted within the appropriate recruitment round to ensure that they are benchmarked before the date that the post needs to commence.

For further information please visit: https://specialtytraining.hee.nhs.uk/Recruitment.

Dedicated Clinical Training

The 4-year duration of the NIHR CL may mean that a period of dedicated clinical training is appropriate, after the CL award ends to enable the candidate to reach CCT. In these cases, discussions should be held with the relevant Training Programme Director (TPD) to optimise the doctor’s remaining clinical training.

Portability of Posts

NIHR CL posts are awarded to medical schools. HEE Local Offices do not have permission to move any posts from one medical school to another within their locality. If a medical school is unable to recruit in a particular GMC specialty the IAT partnership may submit a specialty change request to NIHR and re-advertise the post. 

Recruitment and Selection

The following should be formulated prior to advertisement:

Person Specifications

These are required for the training programme as a whole (both clinical and academic).

Please refer to NIHR CL Supplementary Person Specification (Appendix 1).

Application Form(s)

These must assess both clinical and academic competence. Please refer to NIHR CL Supplementary Questions (Appendix 2).

ST Level

ST3 is the minimum entry level required for an NIHR CL post. 

A description of the training and service requirements for the rotational placements

Training programme descriptions should provide suitable detail of the academic training component with an indication of how this is protected from clinical service.

CLs awarded through the IAT Competition to support NIHR Priority Research Themes and the proposed research associated with the posts must be clearly described in the advertisements.

Advertising

The launch of the national recruitment round will be advertised on the NIHR website. The 2022 NIHR CLs may not be advertised and closed before the national launch. IAT partnerships may advertise their posts at any time during the recruitment round. Advertisements should be live for a minimum of 4 weeks.

IAT partnerships may choose to advertise their CLs in up to three GMC specialties to provide flexibility in recruitment, if required, but this is not mandatory.

Prospective candidates apply to the host IAT partnership, not the NIHR.

IAT partnerships should inform the NIHR Academy via e-mail to iat@nihr.ac.uk stating when they are planning to advertise their posts and provide details of where their adverts will be placed. All posts must be advertised nationally.

The NIHR strongly encourages partnerships to advertise the CLs on Oriel, as this will increase the national visibility of the CL vacancy. If the IAT partnership medical school is leading the recruitment process, an Information Only vacancy should be placed on Oriel. Members of the IAT partnership will need to work together in order to achieve this.

NIHR Priority Research Themes 

Partnerships should inform the NIHR of when their CL interviews will be held, as members of NIHR will be attending randomly selected interviews throughout the year.

Successful applicants must be able to take up their post before the end of the recruitment window, therefore please allow enough time to advertise, shortlist, interview and where required, allow for notice periods to be given. The NIHR will not give extensions beyond the recruitment window deadline. Posts that are not filled ahead of the recruitment window deadline will be withdrawn.

Specialty Changes

All NIHR CLs are GMC specialty specific. Partnerships may only advertise and recruit to the GMC specialties that have been agreed with NIHR for 2022. Should it not be possible to recruit to one of the GMC specialties, partnerships should contact the NIHR Academy to request a change of GMC specialty.

Should changes to the approved GMC specialty spread be made without written authorisation from NIHR, then this may lead to the post being reclassified as a locally funded Clinical Lectureship and the associated NIHR funding withdrawn.

Selection Process

The NIHR CL selection committee should be a joint committee representing the partner organisations that submitted a successful bid for funding, i.e. the Medical School, NHS Organisation, and the HEE Local Office. It is expected that CL candidates demonstrate strong progress in their clinical training to date. The committee must be constituted to assess academic quality and potential.

Interviews for recruitment to NIHR CL posts (and locally-funded posts) should last at least thirty minutes.

Interviews will need to be conducted safely, both for candidates and recruitment staff (including all panel members), ensuring that any current government guidelines at the time are followed. 

Partnerships may hold either face to face or digital interviews for CL posts using online platforms such as Microsoft Teams/Zoom/Skype.

Membership of the NIHR CL selection committee should have appropriate representation that reflects the IAT partnership offering the CL programme and specialty. Selection committee members may assume more than one role.

Attendees should include:

  • A lay representative (if available)
  • The lead of the NIHR CL training programme, or their representative
  • The Training Programme Director or their representative
  • Representation from the relevant academic community
  • Representation from a Teaching Hospital Trust (or appropriate organisation)
  • Representation from the HEE Local Office

For GPs the committee should include:

  • A lay representative (if available)
  • The lead of the NIHR CL training programme, or their representative
  • Representation from the relevant academic community
  • The HEE Local Office Director of Postgraduate GP Education
  • A Senior Member/Partner from the relevant practice or relevant NHS organisation 

To ensure the smooth-running of CL interviews, we recommend a Recruitment Officer assists with the process. Recruitment Officers are usually senior administrators in the HEE Local Office/Deanery or HEI IAT administrators hosting the interviews, and act as the point of contact for messages handled via helplines, escalating them appropriately. 

Selection Criteria

The criteria at short-listing and interview for assessing candidates should be derived directly from the person specification, including academic aptitude and commitment to an academic career, and the training and service requirements. Please refer to the NIHR CL Supplementary Person Specification for assessment of academic competences.

The following should be remembered when formulating the selection criteria:

  • The duration of an NIHR CL will be for a maximum of 4 years at 1.0 Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) or until CCT is reached
  • Candidates with less than 1 year to CCT may be more suited to a NIHR Advanced Fellowship or other post-doctoral fellowship, rather than an NIHR CL
  • NIHR CLs are intended to offer training to those who have already demonstrated outstanding potential through success at doctoral level research
  • NIHR CLs are intended for those who show further potential for development as clinical academics in research and/or education research, with demonstration of potential to act as independent researchers and leaders in their chosen field
  • Successful candidates will demonstrate clear medium- and long-term career goals
  • The CL post requires the trainee to spend 50% of their time undergoing academic training combined with clinical training in the remaining 50%
  • The NIHR CL will provide the trainee the opportunity to complete their clinical training in conjunction with post-doctoral research career development or higher educational training
  • It is expected that a substantial number of the trainees will, where appropriate, apply for a further, peer-reviewed, externally-funded post-doctoral training award (such as a NIHR Advanced Fellowship) or an award to support further training as an education researcher.

The committee should also refer to the eligibility criteria as set out earlier in this document.

Additional information for GPs

NIHR funds GP CL posts at 100%. The maximum amount of funding available is equivalent to the top of the pre-2003 consultant contract pay scale. Should partnerships wish to offer more than this amount, then they may do so from their own funding sources.

GPs will have completed their clinical training. Their academic training (50%) will thus be combined with clinical service (50%), as a salaried or self-employed GP.

GPs will be expected to engage in appropriate continuing professional development.

Appointments

Post holders are, in most cases, employed by a Higher Education Institution (HEI), and hold an honorary contract with the appropriate NHS organisation. Other contract models exist, including single contracts covering all aspects of the job.

Details of how the employing partnership will manage the appointment should be agreed with the appointee and each appointment should be managed according to the established practices and needs of individual HEIs and local NHS organisations.

It is anticipated that appointments will reflect the principles outlined in the Follett Review of September 2001.

Options for Less than Full Time Working

NIHR CLs comprise 50% academic and 50% clinical training for up to 4 years (1.0 WTE).

Funding for Less Than Full Time (LTFT) CLs can be extended up to a maximum of 6 years, with a stipulation that the academic component must not fall below 0.33 WTE. The trainee should have input into how they would arrange the balance between academic and clinical training. Local selection committees should be able to advise on this matter should suitable candidates be identified.

Monitoring forms (post-recruitment and those reporting on annual progress) will need to make the LTFT arrangements and planned duration of the CL clear.

Guidance has been issued by the GMC with respect to LTFT academic trainees.

Please note the maximum duration of both full time and LTFT CL posts stated above does not include any periods of statutory leave taken during the post.

Out of Programme

No Out of Programme (OOP) activity, other than for statutory reasons, is allowed for NIHR CLs. Trainees can apply to their HEE Local Office to go out of programme for non-statutory reasons; however, this will end the NIHR funding and the trainee will return to standard clinical training following the period of OOP. Any OOP must be prospectively agreed with the employing organisation.

Obtaining Relevant Research Experience at another Institution

NIHR CLs may wish to obtain relevant research experience at another institution. This is not the same as OOP.

Obtaining relevant research experience elsewhere is acceptable if it can be accommodated within the 50% academic time of the post and has the agreement of the Academic Programme Lead and Postgraduate Dean. Time spent at another institution to gain clinical experience is also possible; however, permission must be sought from the relevant authorities in order for this to count towards CCT. Partnerships must inform the NIHR before any trainee temporarily moves to obtain experience elsewhere.

Funding from NIHR will continue to be paid during any time taken at another institution. Should the trainee obtain external funding to cover this period of time away, then this would be regarded as the trainee having gained another fellowship and the NIHR CL post would end, with the trainee returning to standard clinical training once the external funding has come to an end.

Academic Appraisals and CCT Date

Structured postgraduate medical training is dependent on having curricula which clearly set out the standards and competences of practice, an assessment strategy to know whether those standards have been achieved and an infrastructure which supports a training environment within the context of service delivery.

The Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP) should, for the clinical academic trainee, involve review of both clinical and academic progress and therefore be undertaken by clinical and academic staff together. A general overview for reviewing the progression of trainees undertaking joint clinical and academic training programmes is provided in the Gold Guide 7th Edition.

A progress report for academic trainees is provided in the Gold Guide (Appendix 5).

The Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS) has formulated supplementary guidelines to aid trainees, supervisors, and assessors in reviewing academic training and progress.

Although progress on both clinical and academic fronts should be documented, and future training needs for both identified, a single outcome should be determined, with patient safety a dominant consideration.

Postgraduate Deans have agreed to consider an NIHR CL’s overall progress and take account of the time spent in research (if necessary) before issuing an ARCP Outcome 3.

Setting the Target CCT Date

NIHR expects assessment of clinical progress by academic trainees to be competence-based rather than simply time-based. NIHR also recognises that in, for example, craft specialties, trainees do need to undertake procedures on a number of occasions to become competent to perform the procedure independently, and that requires a variable period of time to complete.

Following discussions with the GMC, Postgraduate Deans, and others, the NIHR stance is that setting a target CCT date is best determined flexibly, and tailored to the needs of the individual trainee.

The target CCT date is best determined (as agreed by the GMC) at the first annual ARCP for CLs, when the trainee and supervisors can take stock of initial progress in the post.

The target CCT date may be exactly the same as it would be for a non-academic trainee, or it may be later than it would be for a non-academic trainee.

Once set, the CCT date can be extended further through the use of an ARCP Outcome 3. If there is a need to extend clinical training this should not necessarily be regarded as a failure.

In the event that an individual is unsuccessful in progressing academically, they will re-join a standard clinical training programme, or in the case of GPs or those that have completed clinical training, return to clinical service. Further information regarding the assessment of academic progress is available from the AMS.

Completion of an NIHR CL

The duration of an NIHR CL will be for a maximum of 4 years (1.0 WTE) or until CCT is reached. During this time the trainee combines 50% clinical specialty training with 50% academic training to complete a substantial piece of post-doctoral research.

It is expected that a significant number of the trainees will, where appropriate, apply for a further peer reviewed, post-doctoral training award such as an NIHR Advanced Fellowship.

For trainees who are not anticipated to reach CCT within the maximum 4 years funding of the NIHR CL post, arrangements will need to be put in place locally to enable the trainee to return to standard clinical training after the completion of the NIHR CL.

Obtaining another Fellowship

Where the trainee is successful in obtaining a further fellowship award (e.g. NIHR Advanced Fellowship), the CL will end. If the trainee has further clinical training to undertake at the end of the fellowship, they will return to standard clinical training upon completion of the fellowship.

Extensions beyond CCT

On reaching CCT the NIHR CL will have completed clinical training. It is anticipated that the request to prolong the post beyond CCT is to acquire additional academic competencies to enable the individual to make the transition to research independence.

NIHR expects the extension process described in this document to be followed for NIHR-recognised, locally-funded (badged) CL posts.

Extensions are not automatically given; they are considered on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed to be granted.

Eligibility

The option to apply for an extension post-CCT is open to CLs in specialty training provided they are within the 4 year’s funding for duration of the award appointment.

If the trainee does not reach CCT by the end of the 4 year CL post period, then no extensions will be considered by the NIHR.

Applications for extension must be made at least 6 months prior to CCT.

A trainee that wishes to apply for an extension must have more than 12 months remaining of their training at the time of appointment to the NIHR CL post. Trainees with less than 12 months to CCT will be considered ineligible.

GP CLs are ineligible for a post-CCT extension, as they have already gained CCT and are fully qualified.

Extension Duration

A CL extension is for a maximum of 24 months beyond CCT, or until the 4 year funding maximum is reached. For example, a CL who uses 3.5 years of the funding to reach CCT will be offered a 6 month extension.

Post-CCT CLs must reduce their clinical commitments to 2 clinical sessions per week, which should be sufficient to maintain clinical skills and remain appointable as a NHS consultant. Those employed in the craft specialties may undertake up to 4 clinical sessions per week, with the extension request accompanied by an explanation for this requirement.

Employer and Responsible Officer

The CL will remain employed by the Higher Education Institution (HEI), or substantive employer post-CCT with an honorary contract with a NHS Trust. The Medical Director of the associated Trust will become the responsible officer, post-CCT. The CL post-CCT will need to be appraised jointly, both clinically and academically, consistent with the Follett Report principles with adherence to the joint working checklist, with academic progression managed by the substantive employer’s HR processes.

Extension Process

Eligible NIHR CLs that wish to invoke the extension must gain prospective approval for the extension from their Postgraduate Dean.

Following approval from the Postgraduate Dean to extend the CL post beyond CCT, the trainee will need to coordinate the submission of the following documentation to their HEE local office.

The completed extension request is to be sent to NIHR by the HEE local office and not the trainee.

Cover Letter

Addressing the following points:

  • NIHR CL Start Date
  • Target CCT date
  • The extension request has the approval of the Postgraduate Dean
