Developing an application for the UK Pre-Doctoral Clinical and Practitioner Academic Fellowship (PCAF): The collective experience of a community of physiotherapists.

For physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals, developing capability and expertise in research can be challenging. However, involvement in research is beneficial at organisational and individual levels, both for clinicians and patients. One way to embark on research is to apply for a personal fellowship such as the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Pre-Doctoral Clinical Academic Fellowship (PCAF).While the NIHR has guidance on how to complete the application form, it can be difficult to implement this guidance and understand what a competitive application looks like.
