One-to-one Research E-mentoring Scheme

One-to-one research e-mentoring seeks to bring together experienced researchers / academics and novice / junior pharmacy practice researchers to enable the latter to develop research knowledge relating to their practice with the support of an e-mentor. This can be done using whatever methods best suit the individuals involved, for example, email, telephone or face-to-face.

The advantages of this scheme are:

For the mentee:

  • Support and advice on key research areas (concept development through to grant applications);
  • Forging professional links with researchers; and
  • Access to a critical friend who can listen to your ideas.

For the mentor:

  • Opportunity to help and support the future academic workforce;
  • Potential to extend collaborations outside of academia; and
  • Access to emerging research talent.

For the Pharmacy Profession:

  • Strengthening the link between academia and practice; and
  • Research capacity building.

To register your interest as a mentor or mentee all you need to do is fill in a simple form:

Once you have done this the Trust will seek to match individuals with suitable mentors. The information you provide us will not be disclosed to anyone, the Trust will use this information solely for the purpose of pairing mentors with mentees. Once the Trust has found a suitable match, an introductory email will be sent to both parties, and it is up to you to take it from there.

If we do not hear from you we will assume that the match has been successful (you may be contacted at some stage in the future as part of the evaluation of the initiative). If the match is not successful, for any reason, please contact us at the earliest possible convenience and we will seek to find you an alternative match.
