Abstract

There have been substantial recent changes to the structure of clinical academic training. In its 2004 white paper, Science and innovation: working towards a ten-year investment framework, the government issued a call for improvements in clinical research in the NHS, to ensure that scientific advances would translate to genuine improvements in patients' care. In response to this, the UK Clinical Research Collaboration was set up to enhance the partnership between government, industry and medical sectors. They identified three current major problems in clinical academic training: lack of a clear entry route and career structure; lack of flexibility in job content and location; and a shortage of suitably structured posts on training completion. In 2004, 10% of academic posts were unfilled and there were 23% fewer junior academic staff than three years previously.
