Academic supervision
Academic supervision entails providing specific clinical, topic and/or methodological advice with regards to a proposed fellowship application (usually doctoral). The primary supervisor for a doctoral fellowship will be employed by the University where you will register for a PhD. Your primary supervisor should be experienced in supporting doctoral students to successful completion. You should include other supervisors who can provide additional specific clinical and research expertise relevant to your fellowship. They can be based in other universities or health and care organisation but should be selected for the specific advice and support that they can provide you.
