This month we’re launching a ‘Coffee and Careers’ Early Career Researcher webinar series. This will be a series of webinars where an early career researcher chats to a more senior researcher about key decisions, advice and pitfalls in their career so far.
To whet your appetite, here we share some of the discussion from our Early Career Researcher conference last year. Participants submitted questions to a panel of researchers who were further on in their careers.
As part of our Work Forwards programme of employment support, every week we will be sharing the career stories and insights of people from the CF community. We chatted to Gemma, who has a son with CF, about her career as a social worker and children’s therapist – and how she balances her work-life with being a mum of four!
As part of our Work Forwards programme of employment support, every week we will be sharing the career stories and insights of people from the CF community. Today we're shining the spotlight on Harry, who runs a film production company called Room 18 film and works as a store manager at Specsavers.
The Government is working on a 10-year plan for the NHS. Cystic Fibrosis Trust is supporting to make sure the voices of people with CF are heard and included. Join us on 6 February to have your say.
It can take a long time to truly understand the effects of new treatments, and this may include different types of studies beyond traditional clinical trials. In a new study that has just begun, Professor Ruth Keogh and Dr Emily Granger, CF researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, are working with doctors and CF community members to develop new ways of looking at data on CF treatments in our UK CF Registry. Here they explain more about their study, and how you can get involved.
