Testimonials
Supporting early career researchers to achieve their career aspirations is a really important part of what we do. Mags Watson’s unique combination of extensive experience, robust research and a warm personal style certainly resonated with the attendees at our recent workshop for our fellows’ network, drawing back the curtain and providing actionable advice and tools to help deal with some of challenges of navigating the career development maze. We are already talking with Mags about planning the next one…
Executive Director, Dunhill Medical Trust, February 2021
My PhD students’ participation in these Masterclasses has provided invaluable support not only to the postgraduate research students but also to me as a supervisor. There is something for everyone, regardless of the stage of the PhD work. Five of my students have attended one or more of these and have nothing but praise for these workshops delivered by Mags and her team. Particular highlights are being able to attend as a small group, Mags’ supportive approach, and her wealth of experience in health services research which can be applied/tailored to specific projects.
