We’ve joined forces with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Academy to offer a range of prestigious fellowships. The NIHR fellowships have been designed to support people at various points of their development and individuals with the potential and on a trajectory to become future leaders.
Moorfields Eye Charity is committed to investing in training and development opportunities, and these joint fellowships are a highlight programme. Working in partnership with the NIHR, we offer support from pre-doctoral through to PhD and up to pre-professorial level fellowships.
