Rheumatology Practice to Research; Yunzheng Jiao’s Journey

At Pharmacy Research Professionals, we’re proud to showcase the inspiring journeys of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who are embedding research into their everyday practice. Our aim is to highlight what’s possible and inspire you to begin your own research journey!

In this episode, we meet Yunzheng Jiao and hear about the path he’s taken to build a clinical academic career.

Jiao works at the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust, based in rheumatology, and is currently leading a research team, and undertaking a part-time professional doctorate at Keele University. His journey reflects great commitment to evidence-based practice and practice-informed research, enabling Jiao to use his real-world experience to better the quality and impact of his research. Mentorship and participation in a locally delivered NIHR-supported programme have been instrumental in developing Jiao’s research expertise, as well as collaborating with fellow researchers, clinicians, and patients.
