Career opportunities

"The MRes in Reproduction and Pregnancy opened my eyes to the possibilities of combining a career in clinical medicine with academic research.

I'm now a trainee in obstetrics and gynaecology, but have paused my training to undertake a PhD. I'm planning to continue my career as an academic obstetrician in the future."

Dr Lynne Warrander / Clinical Research Fellow, Tommy's Manchester Research Centre
