One of the aims is to help increase the number of general practices participating in commercial research.

Fellows will have academic support from SPCR host departments and have access to wider NIHR SPCR training resources and be part of the wider SPCR network. They will also form a peer-support group, working with an experienced academic to enhance their career development. They will also gain new skills in commercial research.

Fellows will network widely with regional primary care, promoting and supporting the uptake of the commercial portfolio.

The fellowships will be 0.2FTE from 1st August 2025 and will run to 31st December 2026 and fellows will be paid an academic clinical salary (pro rata).
