“…There has been an explosion in reference to clinical academics in papers relating to nurses, midwives and allied health professions (NMAHPs) in the last 5 years. These focus on specific elements of clinical academic career developments: research culture of organisations (Luckson et al, 2018), clinical academic internships (Di Bona et al, 2019), exploration of success factors (Olive et al, 2020), impact of research internships (Long, 2019;Oostveen et al, 2017), organisational research culture (Cowley et al, 2020;Nightingale et al, 2020), clinical academic career progression (Avery et al, 2021;Trusson et al, 2019) and practically addressing post-doctoral needs of clinical academics (Hampshaw et al, 2022;Orton et al, 2022;Sanders et al, 2020). Strickland (2017) reported on a literature review to identify research infrastructure to support clinical academics with visits to leading clinical academic programmes worldwide.…”
