Challenges finding Fellowship placement opportunities for Fellows since the review groups shut down
To date in 2023, we have placed 10 Fellows on reviews providing evidence for the NIHR, WHO, the EU NITAGs and more. Fellows come from clinical backgrounds in higher specialist training, are academic researchers etc. We also placed one Fellow from an LMIC with a Host Centre in London, to work on a project relating to the methodology of evidence syntheses.
