In this episode of Clinical Research Career Conversations, host Jo Merrifield talks with Izy Utley, a speech and language therapist, research fellow, and clinical doctorate student at the University of Stirling. Izy shares her non-linear journey into research, built through small opportunities that led to a clinical doctorate. She discusses making research more accessible for people with communication differences, the differences between a PhD and a clinical doctorate, and how research can enrich clinical practice. Izy’s story highlights the varied routes into research and the value of building experience piece by piece.
