It’s been a while since I posted, and I have a few things I want to update on, but firstly I want to share some good news. Part of the reason for the lull in posting was because alongside working on Neuromap, I was writing an application to the NIHR Imperial BRC PhD Fellowship to enable me to continue this work. As there was only one available I was realistic about my chances of success, but with a lot of hard work on the application and support from my team, I was successful and have transitioned from the predoctoral fellowship into PhD studies!<\/p>\n
This is a really exciting development for me as it means I can really do justice to the project, and will have a lot more time to learn and grow as a researcher and clinician. I’m really grateful for the support from my supervisory team, Paul Strutton<\/a>, Caroline Alexander<\/a>, Maurizio Belci<\/a> and Athina Belsi<\/a>, as well as the Imperial Healthy Charity<\/a> who awarded me the predoctoral fellowship which was essential in enabling me to develop my PhD application, and the RDS (now the RSS)<\/a> who helped me write it. I’m also grateful to my colleagues at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust<\/a> who have been so supportive of my journey, and our collaborators at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust<\/a> and the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville<\/a>; I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with them on this project. Finally, thanks to the NIHR Imperial BRC<\/a>, who have given me this amazing opportunity; I’m looking forward to the next 3 years!<\/p>\n
