### Academic Clinical Fellowship Training Programme: Research Component

The research component will be based in CURE (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/scharr/research/centres/cure), where the fellow will be supervised by one of the Professors in Emergency Medicine and will have access to methodological expertise in all aspects of health technology assessment and health service research. CURE researchers are involved in a wide range of major national and international research projects, such as those outlined above and those listed at https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/scharr/research/centres/cure/projects. The fellow will have to opportunity to work with an existing CURE project or develop their own area of research interest. The CUREd linked database of ambulance and emergency department data was developed through our leadership of the Yorkshire and Humber Applied Research Collaborative (ARC), and provides excellent opportunities for research using healthcare data. Our links with the Sheffield Clinical Trials Research Unit offers opportunities to develop skills in clinical trials methodology and clinical prediction modelling. Our links with the section of Health Economics and Decision Science provide opportunities to develop skills in evidence synthesis and economic evaluation. We regularly undertake research with emergency departments in South Yorkshire and with Yorkshire Ambulance Service, offering opportunities to undertake clinical research in emergency and prehospital care. We pioneered the development of patient and public involvement in emergency care and work with an established public representative group, the Sheffield Emergency Care Forum (https://secf.org.uk/), to ensure that our research addresses public priorities and is relevant to the public. The research time will be concentrated in a 9-month full-time block in the second year and will provide the opportunity to undertake modules from the Master in Clinical Research, with potential to undertake the full MClinRes degree. This provides training in quantitative and qualitative research design and analysis, with opportunities for more advanced training in statistics, economic evaluation and qualitative research. The fellow will also undertake a research project, for the Masters dissertation if appropriate, aimed at achieving peer- reviewed publication and conference presentation, with potential to form the basis of a funded doctoral fellowship application. Research projects typically involve analysis of routine data, collection of pilot data, or evidence synthesis. We have successfully supported 13 ACFs, with over 90% successfully achieving Master qualifications and many resulting peer reviewed papers and presentations. ScHARR has an excellent track record of supporting doctoral fellowship applications and extensive support for ACFs intending to apply for a doctoral fellowship.

### Academic Clinical Fellowship Training Programme: Clinical Component

The 3 year Acute Care Common Stem training programme is designed to support doctors training for a CCT in Emergency Medicine. The programme is aimed at doctors who can demonstrate the essential competencies to enter this level of training.
