How will potential Fellows be selected?
Selection criteria will include:
- commitment to innovation, evidenced by the skillset/ attitude/experience of the applicant
- ambition of the proposed innovation project and its relevance to NHS priorities
- support from host centre: e.g. providing opportunities post Fellowship to exploit the knowledge and skills developed
What if a potential applicant doesn’t have an innovation project in mind - can they still apply?
All applicants should have an innovation project proposed as part of the application process. However, if the applicant is successfully selected as a Fellow, they may be allocated a project brief by the Devices for Dignity team should the project proposed not be feasible within the timescales. The final project allocation will be in negotiation with the Fellow, their host Trust and specialists proposing the project.
