Collaborators

Collaborators

Over the years IMPART also involved various collaborators in academic, practice and policy fields who supported our training by providing site visits to clinical and health service settings, professional development workshops and seminars such as on policy, academic writing and research ethics. Their contributions helped us to bring a multi-sectoral approach to IMPART training as well as equip trainees with further skills for success in their professional careers.
