UK-wide Clinical Academic Survey | University of Manchester & AHCS
Your voice matters.
The Academy for Healthcare Science and the University of Manchester are running a UK-wide survey of healthcare science clinical academics, and it only takes a few minutes to complete.
By sharing your experience, you’ll directly influence how clinical academic careers are supported and developed.
The number of Healthcare Scientists who identify and work as Clinical Academics across the four UK nations is currently unknown. You are invited to participate in a UK-wide online survey, in collaboration between the University of Manchester and the AHCS, to assess clinical academic capacity and capability within this workforce.
The survey is anonymous, and the data collected will play a vital role in improving understanding of the healthcare science workforce. By systematically characterising this workforce, the findings will inform a set of evidence-based recommendations and support engagement with research funders and relevant organisations, highlighting the importance of Clinical Academic Healthcare Scientists.
The questionnaire has been carefully designed to capture key information relating to workforce composition, roles, skills, and the barriers currently being experienced.
The survey is being led by colleagues at The University of Manchester on behalf of the AHCS.
The survey is now open and will close on the 14/08/2026 at 11:45pm.
