SoCATS helps to identify the clinical academics of the future and support them in their training as they work towards becoming the research leaders of the future.

Part of Medicine

Research has led to profound advances in our capacity to prognosticate and prevent, diagnose and treat disease. Clinical academics sit at the centre of those advances – through an ability to see the clinical need; work with others to answer research questions; and deliver the answers to those questions back into clinical care. This is a huge privilege. Southampton is a great place to continue your training – academic medicine is pivotal to all that happens in clinical practice, and we are proud to contribute to that knowledge base.
