Research, Clinical Audit & Teaching (RAT) Course for New NHS IMGs

Includes an Opportunity to Contribute to a Collaborative Peer-Reviewed Article

Build a stronger NHS portfolio with practical, structured learning in research, clinical audit/quality improvement and teaching.

The LAJ Academy RAT Course is a 100% self-paced programme for new NHS IMGs, trust-grade doctors, clinical fellows and doctors preparing for competitive specialty-training, fellowship or academic opportunities.

Rather than simply stating that you are “interested” in research, audit or teaching, this course helps you understand how to plan, contribute to, document and present meaningful work that can strengthen your professional development evidence.

You will also receive entry to the LAJ Academy Research Writing Group, including an opportunity to contribute actively to a collaborative article that may be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.

What you will learn

Research and academic writing

Learn how to:

• Develop a focused research question and project idea

• Carry out structured literature searches

• Use references and avoid common academic-writing mistakes

• Critically appraise medical literature

• Understand basic study design and research methodology

• Write abstracts, posters and manuscript sections

• Learn the foundations of narrative reviews, systematic reviews and collaborative writing

• Understand peer review, publication processes, authorship and contributorship

Clinical audit and quality improvement

Learn how to:

• Identify a realistic audit or QI topic within your NHS department or local setting

• Select relevant standards and measurable targets

• Create aims, objectives and an appropriate methodology

• Collect, analyse and present data

• Interpret findings and make practical recommendations

• Develop an action plan and demonstrate improvement

• Understand re-audit and closing the audit loop

• Produce portfolio-ready evidence of your contribution

Teaching and medical education

Learn how to:

• Identify learners’ needs

• Write clear aims, objectives and learning outcomes

• Plan and structure a teaching session

• Use appropriate teaching methods and resources

• Deliver engaging teaching to students, colleagues or multidisciplinary teams

• Collect meaningful feedback

• Assess learner understanding

• Reflect on your teaching and produce evidence for your NHS portfolio

Opportunity to contribute to a collaborative peer-reviewed article

Course enrolment includes access to the LAJ Academy Research Writing Group.

This gives committed participants an opportunity to contribute to collaborative academic projects, which may include literature searching, screening articles, critical appraisal, drafting sections, reference management, manuscript review and responding to feedback.

This is designed to help doctors gain genuine experience of how an academic article progresses from an initial idea through collaborative drafting, submission and peer review.

Previous research-writing collaboration has contributed to:

“Vascular Surgery Training and Practice in West Africa: A Narrative Review of Current Capacity and Challenges”
Published in the Journal of the West African College of Surgeons.
Read the published article

A further collaborative article:

“Emerging of Robotic Surgery in West Africa: Opportunities and Challenges Across Surgical Specialties”
has been accepted for publication by the Journal of the West African College of Surgeons.

This course therefore provides more than theory. It offers the opportunity to build research skills through real collaborative academic work.

Important: Participation in the Research Writing Group does not guarantee authorship, publication, journal acceptance or a training post. Authorship will be based on meaningful, documented contribution and recognised authorship standards. Any article remains subject to editorial and peer-review decisions by the relevant journal.

Why this matters for NHS training applications

Research, clinical audit/QI and teaching experience continue to be relevant across many NHS specialty-training pathways. Their exact weighting varies by specialty and recruitment round, but current national guidance for Core Surgical Training identifies research, audit/QI and teaching as desirable experience, while the 2025/26 portfolio process includes formal evidence-based scoring.

For higher surgical training, including General Surgery ST3, national person specifications also recognise audit/QI and broader professional-development evidence.

The medical-training prioritisation arrangements do not remove the value of a strong, well-evidenced application. NHS England states that, for posts starting in 2026, prioritisation applies at the offer stage; for posts starting from 2027, it is intended to apply at both shortlisting and offer stages. This makes it particularly important to understand the requirements of your target specialty, maximise the quality of evidence you can legitimately claim and prepare thoroughly for assessed recruitment stages.

This course does not promise a training number. It helps you develop skills and evidence that may support applications where research, audit/QI and teaching are assessed or valued.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for:

• New NHS IMGs

• Trust-grade doctors and clinical fellows

• Doctors preparing for Core Training, ST3, GP, radiology, medical, surgical or academic applications

• Doctors who want to start or improve a clinical audit/QI project

• Doctors who want to build a teaching portfolio

• Doctors with limited previous research or publication experience

• Doctors looking for structured support and collaborative academic opportunities

What is included

• 100% self-paced online learning

• Practical research, audit and teaching guidance

• Reusable templates, examples and checklists

• Structured support to plan your own research, audit/QI or teaching activity

• Entry to the LAJ Academy Research Writing Group

• Opportunity to contribute to a collaborative article for possible peer-reviewed submission

• Guidance on documenting evidence for your portfolio, appraisal and interview discussions

Study around your NHS shifts, exams, family commitments and other responsibilities.
