ARC GM | The 2022 NIHR ARC-GM Student Showcase

ARC-GM PhD Students, Pre-doctoral Fellows and Interns presented their achievements at last year’s Student and Intern Showcase. Staff and colleagues from our partner trusts came together on 29th November 2022 in a remote session to celebrate the learning and impact of their training with ARC-GM.

ARC-GM aims to support and fund health and social care professionals from NHS and care partner organisations, who want to develop their research skills, ideas and initiatives. The team is committed to supporting the development of outstanding researchers wishing to conduct applied research that has the potential to deliver an impact on patients, public and policy regionally and nationally.

The event was well attended by academics across the ARC-GM portfolio and colleagues from partner health and care organisations; we were delighted that so many of our students were able to take part and showcase their impressive achievements.

Prof. Michelle Briggs, Lead for Training and Development at ARC-GM said:

“It was fantastic to hear the ARC-GM Interns, Pre-doctoral and PhD Fellows present about their research journeys. I’m impressed at the progress and impact they have all made; they should be proud of their accomplishments. Over the next few months I’m really looking forward to learning more about how the Interns and Pre-doctoral Fellows, in particular, build on their new research skills as part of their clinical practice with their associated health and care providers.”

PhD Student, Mia Bennion commented on the day:

“It was great to hear about everyone's research projects, particularly people's reflections on their experiences throughout the research process. It's clear there's so much valuable work that's taking place. I'm so grateful to have received a prize for my presentation at the showcase!”

Prizes were awarded for the following categories:
