“…These methods support a wider movement of embedding research into practice to ensure that it becomes routine and sustainable rather than one-off or reliant on research funding. As a model, it builds evidence from clinical practice, positively contributes to the culture of using measures, cascades skills across the sector, and provides a representative picture to inform service and policy decisions (Barkham & Mellor-Clark, 2003;Bartholomew, Pérez-Rojas, Lockard, & Locke, 2017;Castonguay et al, 2010).…”

There remain barriers to securing robust and complete datasets from counselling embedded in Higher Education (HE). This study aimed to provide the first step towards developing a national dataset of student counselling outcomes drawn from differing outcome measures, platforms and reporting on all clients. Data from four counselling services using two clinical outcome measures and two platforms were pooled and analysed. Students presented to counselling with low levels of wellbeing and functioning, and high levels of depression, anxiety, academic distress and trauma. Counselling was particularly effective for improving depression, anxiety, wellbeing, hostility, social anxiety and academic distress. Results demonstrate value in pooling complete data from HE counselling services and we argue for developing a national dataset of university counselling data.

“…, 2016). Social workers, psychologists and paediatric AH professionals have described research as a nonessential part of a clinician's role and removed from the day to day of clinical practice (Bartholomew et al. , 2017; Beddoe, 2011; Paget et al.…”

“…Similarly, there was little information in the literature about the availability of clinician researcher positions. In a number of studies, AH professionals commented that there were limited opportunities to combine clinical and research careers, and author commentary added that these opportunities may be decreasing (Bartholomew et al. , 2017; Golenko et al.…”

PurposeAlthough the benefits of clinician researchers for health services are now more clearly recognised, their career development is not well understood. Hence, the purpose of this paper, a scoping review, is to determine what has been discussed in the literature about career opportunities for allied health (AH) clinician researchers in health services.Design/methodology/approachA structured literature search was completed in December 2020 for literature published 2010–2020 in English. A total of 2,171 unique abstracts were found and screened by two reviewers and 206 articles progressed to full text screening.FindingsForty-six studies were ultimately included; however, only two of these had aims directly related to AH clinician researcher careers, with the remainder containing only incidental data on this topic. Over half (56.5%) of the included studies were conducted in Australia, with a variety of AH professions represented. In terms of research design, 52.2% used cross-sectional survey designs, while case studies and qualitative research designs were also common. Key observations were that varying terminology and definitions were used, and there was little information about the inclusion of research in clinical positions or opportunities for formal clinical researcher positions in health services. There was some evidence to support that there are limited career opportunities after PhD completion, and that current career pathways are insufficient. There was conflicting evidence on whether engagement in research is beneficial for clinical career progression.Originality/valueThis review highlights a lack of research on this topic and outlines future directions to better support career pathways for AH clinician researchers.

“…Volunteer participant counsellors at the research site were required to balance the demands of clinical time pressures against their professional training commitments and therefore had limited time to grasp, plan and conduct study procedures. Time conflicts are widely recognised as detrimental to the success of practice‐based research and practice‐oriented research (Bartholomew, Pérez‐Rojas, Lockard, & Locke, ; Castonguay et al., ; Grafanaki, ; Lucock et al., ). Because performance targets are usually aligned to client hours rather than research productivity, practitioners must sustain clinical duties despite the time added by research.…”

“…Engagement has been found to fluctuate, requiring focused attention to sustain it over prolonged periods of time. Different factors influence practitioners’ engagement, including practical issues such as clinical time constraints and the burden of research procedures (Bartholomew et al., ; Drahota et al., ; Lucock et al., ).…”
