Professional development opportunities
Personal development

For personal development it is helpful to conduct a training needs analysis (TNA). This can form part of a personal development review with your line manager, and it can be helpful to use a framework or set of competencies for guidance. 

Well-being

People have highlighted that getting started in research can be challenging. It is important to look after your well-being, take time for self-reflection and talk about your research experiences with others. Here are some resources that you might find useful:

  • The NIHR has a range of support options depending on where you are in your research journey
  • UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) provides well-being and mental health information for researchers
  • Vitae provides well-being and mental health advice for researchers.
