About the Communications and Engagement team: Our mission is to tell the story of the Academy and its work to improve health. We do this by providing a diverse, trusted and accessible voice for medical science in print, broadcast and digital media, and by putting patients and the public at the heart of our work.

These new roles offer opportunities to work on innovative engagement programmes like our Departure Lounge project which explored death and dying in a pop up shop, and our Planet DIVOC-91 comic that helped young adults share their view on the COVID-19 pandemic. They also offer opportunities to work on high profile communications campaigns connected to our influential policy reports and to support those working in medical and health research through digital activities like our #MedSciLife campaign. We’re also developing new programmes to connect researchers in universities, the NHS and companies across the UK with patients and the public at local and community levels to ensure medical research truly benefits all.

The Academy of Medical Sciences internship scheme, running for almost ten years, gives PhD students a fully-funded first-hand experience of the medical science environment, from policy reports and consultations to grant panels and career support. 

Over a three-month fully-funded internship, interns gain personal insights into how research impacts the wider biomedical system and can build valuable networks with the UK’s most eminent medical scientists and key science and health stakeholders.
