Announcing our UCL Healthcare Engineering Impact Fellows for 2020-21

9 November 2020

UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering is delighted to have accepted 14 new cohort members onto our Impact Fellowship Scheme for 2020-21.

Impact Fellows

The new cohort began their Fellowship in October and will be focused on training and skills-building this term. 

The one-year scheme will train and guide its Impact cohort to build their engagement skills and grow their network beyond university walls, building up to a tangible output at the end of the year. We aim to develop the cohort in how the impact of their work can be increased by working with media, involving patients, working with policy, working with innovation/industry and engaging the public and community groups. 

The sucessful applicants cut across a wide range of discplines and departments within UCL's healthcare engineering community, and we are excited to see how the cohort learns from their peers and is strengthened through this diversity. 

The initiative has been spearheaded by UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering's Engagement Delivery Group. Email Georgie Cade, g.cade@ucl.ac.uk if you are interested in finding out more or have ideas for external organisations or potential mentors to engage in this programme.

We look forward to keeping you updated with how our Fellows progresses throughout the year!
