Legs4Africa- Rebranding to STAND

Legs4Africa has been on a journey of rediscovery over the last 24 months. Through a thorough mediation process with the team, they were able to uncover what’s important for the name and brand narrative in an international development organisation. Legs4Africa wasn’t serving them or their beneficiaries anymore and described a process that disempowers the end user. These insights guided the discussion, and through collecting feedback from stakeholders and clients across the organisation, they developed a new brand narrative that puts the communities they serve at the forefront.

The Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework provides Master’s level qualifications.

LOTS OF BURSARIES ARE STILL AVAILABLE

Apply now to take master’s level courses aligned with the Clinician Researcher Credentials Framework. The qualifications are for all experienced healthcare practitioners who want to take on leadership roles in clinical research delivery. Bursaries are available to pay the course fees for regulated Health and Care Professionals, except doctors and dentists. The deadline for bursary applications is 1 August 2024. For further information, please visit the NIHR website.

 

The bursaries are part of a wider HCP funding program which has ten streams of work to develop careers within specific professions. Consequently, the bursaries are not available for some professions including doctors, dentists and clinical research practitioners. We recognise the impact this has on many colleagues who have a desire to undertake these courses and we are continuing to work with the Department of Health and Social Care in trying to address this. This restriction applies only to bursary and not course applications; all professions are eligible to apply for a place on one of the courses.
