## About this tender

HEE, in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Scientific Officer, is looking for a supplier to undertake a review of joint NHS and academic posts for healthcare scientists to stimulate and promote clinical academic careers (CAC).HEE wishes to commission an in depth review to provide a clearer understanding of the current landscape for healthcare scientists in terms of joint posts and tangible next steps to address the barriers and maximise opportunities to increase the number of joint appointments. In addition it will support the acceleration in identification and uptake of clinical research findings in areas of strategic priority to the NHS system including personalised medicine, genomics and antimicrobial resistance.

The review should provide:

- A map of joint NHS and academic posts held by healthcare scientists in England.
- Exemplar case studies covering the range of healthcare science specialities.
- A benefits analysis of joint clinical academic appointments at a professional, organisation and system level.

- Areas of opportunity, with a focus on areas of strategic priority to the NHS system including personalised medicine, genomics and antimicrobial resistance.
- A set of recommendations to enable a systematic and sustainable establishment of joint appointments.

The initial findings will be presented at the Chief Scientific Officer National Conference (6 & 7 March 2017) to ensure professional consultation and will form part of a workshop specifically focussed on clinical academic careers. The feedback will then be used to inform the final report.

Information from the findings will also be used to inform both profession specific and wider multi-disciplinary clinical academic careers work.

The work should be completed by 31 March 2017.
