Jo Patterson
NIHR Clinical Lectureship
My RDC Doctoral Fellowship and Clinical Lectureship based at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ gave provided me with an excellent start to my academic career. I was part of a thriving multidisciplinary team in ENT, which gave me opportunities to develop my expertise in mixed methods research, to expand my clinical research networks and to build international collaborations.
Âé¶¹´«Ã½ provided bridging funding between fellowships, enabling me to maintain a clinical-academic balance in speech and language therapy. I have since built my own research portfolio and have been awarded a personal chair at Liverpool University.
