Update your RDS mobile app to v4.7.2 to download toolkits even when website is down.

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. You will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon in the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively update to the latest release - RDS app version 4.7.1 - to see this improvement.

Updating to this latest version of the RDS app is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new resilience  arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits. To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number.  To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

Clinical Academic Research Partnerships (CARP)

This scheme funds research-qualified health professionals not currently undertaking any substantial research activity, to form a collaborative high-quality research partnership with established biomedical and applied health researchers. You are eligible to apply if you are a member of NHS staff, staff contracted to the NHS, or working in the care or public health sectors. This includes, but is not limited to - medics, dentists, NMAHPs, healthcare scientists, pharmacists, clinical psychologists, public health practitioners and others in either primary/secondary care, community care or public health.

You must hold a PhD, MD or equivalent postgraduate qualification (e.g. 3 years consolidated research time where you have driven the research and achieved strong outputs from your research experience). 

You must not be undertaking any substantive research activity. It is expected that you will have less than half a day per week dedicated to research within your current contract. Proposal from applicants with more dedicated research time are accepted but you must detail the added value of the award if successful.

It is a 1-3 year funding scheme run in partnership between NIHR and MRC. Each award funds 20% - 50% of the applicant's basic salary and costs to undertake the project.
