The ACF programme is an exciting opportunity for those doctors interested in combining a clinical and research career. The ACF programme was developed as a result of the Walport report (2005), which highlighted the need for integrated clinical and research training pathways for doctors during their ST years. The ACF in Endocrinology and Diabetes combines clinical training (ST3) within the North East Thames SpR rotation with research training at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry (Queen Mary University of London) and has been a successful and popular scheme since its inception in 2006.
