The Critical Care Research Group was established in 2004. Our aim then and now remains unchanged. We are committed to understanding the many issues that face critically ill patients by finding new or improved treatments for hard-to-treat diseases. This research aims to increase survival rates and improve the quality of life for patients with life-threatening conditions.
To do this, we need the best people. We are looking for the next generation of medical research professionals whose hard work, integrity and enthusiasm will help us help the patients of tomorrow.
The CCRG Fellowship Programme is the perfect steppingstone to kick-start or progress your medical research career and has been the springboard to many of the most sought after research positions. From leading universities to cutting edge science institutes, CCRG Alumni go on to achieve incredible things.
