How to apply

There are two stages to the application process.

Stage 1: Recruitment of 4Ward North Academy cohort of health professionals

Deadline: Monday 30 October 2023

In this stage, around 20 health professionals will be selected based on their CV and a short vision statement.

Once selected, the 20 health professionals will work-up a cutting-edge PhD proposal with our pool of leading supervisors who, along with the Academy Directors, will advise and guide them on building a project culminating in an application to Stage 2.
