Winners of Chief Scientific Officer’s Knowledge Transfer Partnership announced
NHS England, in co-operation with the National Measurement System (NMS), has announced the winners of its first Chief Scientific Officer’s (CSO) Knowledge Transfer Partnership Programme.
The 12 month development programme allows clinical leaders in healthcare to create, test and implement innovative ideas to improve patient care and identify new approaches to measurements and outcomes. It is designed to enable senior healthcare scientists to remain in clinical service whilst building long term partnerships between clinical, research and industry teams.
The successful applicants were Dr Rachel Carling from Guys & St Thomas’, Dr Colin Baker from Royal Berkshire, Dr Bal Sanghera from Mount Vernon Hospital and Dr Jason Cashmere from University Hospital Birmingham.
The winners were selected based on their track record of research and quality improvement, as well as their potential to make a difference in their current and future area of specialism. They will work with world class partner organisations and laboratories to enhance their leadership skills and build their networks.
Professor Sue Hill, Chief Scientific Officer, said: “I am pleased to announce our inaugural winners of our Knowledge Transfer Partnership Programme for Leaders in Healthcare Science and look forward to a successful year of collaborating with our new Associates, our partners in the National Measurement Systems and the King’s Fund. This is a fantastic opportunity for clinical leaders in their fields to harness technology and innovation with the aim of speeding up the identification and dissemination of healthcare innovations to improve patient care.”
