ECMC Response to OSCHR Clinical Workforce Report
Developing and supporting the clinical research workforce is a key element of the ECMC Network Strategy, as we know that the high-quality clinical and translational research being delivered across the network can only continue to be achieved with a strong pipeline of clinical researchers coming through the ranks.
The network acknowledges and supports the recent OSCHR Clinical Workforce Report that outlines the key challenges in the clinical academic workforce and recommends some important recommendations to reverse the decline of this important aspect of the clinical research workforce. The ECMC Network has developed a response to the OSCHR report that flags the key challenges and recommendations that are particularly pertinent to our community. We will be continuing to work with our network, the wider community, and funders to ensure these recommendations are acted upon and we can start to see tangible change in the pipeline.
