EXECUTIVE'SUMMARY'
This document presents the skills profile defined for the Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) who
will be recruited as part of the VPH-CaSE Marie Curie European Training Network. The
document places this profile in the context of the training programme to be delivered by
VPH-CaSE and describes the process by which the effectiveness of the training programme
will be monitored, ensuring that training events will develop appropriate skills in the ESR
cohort.
Details of the ESR skills profile and the network training programme were made available to
the project Supervisory Board (membership of which is described in D1.1) for review and
feedback. A summary of specific recommendations from the Supervisory Board resulting
from this review process are provided in this document.
This document also provides a template for the Personal Career Development Plan, which
plays a guiding role in ESR development within VPH-CaSE. The template will be used by
each ESR to support a training needs analysis in Year 1 and 2 of their Individual Research
Project (IRP) and to produce a personal skills portfolio in Year 2 and 3 of their IRP. The
process is designed to promote an understanding of the importance of continuing professional
development, to foster CV writing skills and to prepare them for the world of employment
beyond VPH-CaSE. In addition to defining local training needs, outcomes from the ESR
training needs analysis will be monitored by the project Steering Committee and used to
inform the network-wide elements of the training programme.

1 INTRODUCTION'
The demand for medical technology is reflected in the size of the European industry which employs
nearly 575,000 people in ~25,000 companies of which ~95% are SMEs. This industry covers a
market size of ~€100 billion of which ~ €4 billion is re-invested in Research and Development1.
Medical devices and technologies play a significant role in the treatment of cardiovascular disease
(CVD) but there remains a need for new, and better tailored, devices; CVD still accounts for 47%
of all deaths in Europe with an estimated cost to the EU economy of almost €196 billion a year2.
The use of modelling and simulation to optimise medical device design for an individual (patient-
specific approaches) is already widely-practiced in cardiovascular medicine (from
pharmacokinetics in drug delivery to device sizing in prosthetic implants) and is steadily being
extended to leverage the power of ICT to enhance personalisation through individually-tailored
therapies (optimised LVAD design and tuning, for example). Modelling and simulation
approaches have been consolidated at the international level through the IUPS Physiome and, in
Europe through the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) research initiative. VPH research is
focussed on the improvement of healthcare outcomes and the reduction of the burden of disease,
both of which are increasingly important in the context of an ageing European population. To
achieve substantial impact on clinical practice, VPH research requires not only the combined
expertise of groups developing supporting technologies and of clinical and industrial end-users, but
also active engagement of these groups through an evolving multi-disciplinary environment.
The European Training Network (ETN): VPH-Cardiovascular Simulation and Experimentation for
Personalised Medical Devices (VPH-CaSE) brings together expertise from the industrial, academic
and clinical sectors and exploits associations with the VPH Initiative, capitalising on the investment
made by the EC to bring the VPH to its current state of maturity. The cross-sectorial nature of the
network Beneficiaries and Partners is designed to ensure that the ETN meets the needs of both the
industries which will exploit these technologies and the clinical end-users. This research area is an
excellent vehicle for the training of young, dynamic and ambitious researchers and provides a
diverse portfolio of Researcher Skills due to the inherently multi-disciplinary VPH approach. The
resulting skills will ensure that ESRs are attractive to employers within both academia and the
medical technology industry.
The ETN will deliver an innovative training programme providing training-by-research for 14
Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) who will undertake Individual Research Projects (IRPs) to extend
the state-of-the-art in this research domain. VPH-CaSE recognises that central to the success of
fundamental research is the requirement to sustain effort across disciplinary boundaries supported
by translation of research results to end-users. The training programme will foster the development
of ESRs within a nurturing and collaborative research environment, closely informed by the needs
of industry and the clinic. The objectives of VPH-CaSE are as follows;
• to advance the state-of-the-art in personalised cardiovascular medical device design by
addressing specific research questions that are also key issues highlighted by the Medical
Devices Industry and Regulatory Agencies
• to ensure the committed participation of industry in the ETN, working together to

investigate cutting-edge issues for R&D in the Medical Devices Industry and equipping
researchers with skill profiles based on a thorough understanding of the sectorial needs
within academia and industry,
• to provide ESRs with an enviable skills mix, making them attractive to both academia and
industry, preparing them for a competitive employment market and individually balancing
technical and complementary skills training,
• to establish new, and strengthen existing, collaboration, both within the Network and
between the Network and the wider community using simulation tools for personalised
medical devices
These will be achieved through a coordinated Research Training Programme (RTP), comprising:
• A Personal Career Development Plan for each researcher that guides their participation in
RTP elements that best suit their individual needs.
• World-class training-through-research under supervision, by means of Individual Research
Projects (IRPs) within the framework of the research topics defined by the Network.
• Network-Wide Training activities (both structured courses and more open content) in both
scientific and complementary skills, designed to maximise added-value through joint
development and availability of local training to other Network members.
• Guidance of Network activity by a Supervisory Board consisting of VPH-CaSE
Beneficiaries, Partners and external representatives from both the medical device and
simulation industries and the clinic.
Additional activities will be undertaken to promote VPH-CaSE and enhance the experience of the
researchers involved:
• Specialist input from Beneficiaries and Partners from the clinical and industrial sectors to
the RTP through a comprehensive programme of secondments.
• Collaboration with other VPH research projects, exchange of ‘best practice’, transfer of
knowledge and contribution to model repositories (e.g. ‘VPH ToolKit’) through
interactions with the VPH Institute.
• Public dissemination events that promote mutual respect and exchange of information
between researchers and the public.
The VPH-CaSE consortium is well placed to address the challenges associated with providing
training in the multi-disciplinary area of cardiovascular, personalised medical devices through VPH
research, bringing together academic groups with a strong track-record in cardiovascular research
and development of supporting technologies. Strong collaborative links and synergies are central to
the design of VPH-CaSE, ensuring added-value will be generated by the activities of the network.
Consortium membership clearly demonstrates the commitment of industry, fundamental to the
sustainability of research outputs. The importance of clinical input to direct research projects is
reflected by the involvement of clinical Partners, consolidating the existing collaborative links
between these centres and VPH-CaSE Beneficiaries.
The document describes the context of skills training and employability factors to be considered
when refining the implementation of the VPH-CaSE training programme. Section 2 provides a
reference list of researcher skills which has been reviewed and refined with input from the
VPH-CaSE Supervisory Board (see D1.1 for details of Supervisory Board membership). The
VPH-CaSE network-wide training programme is detailed in section 3, identifying how specific

researcher skills will be fostered through delivery of each event. Section 4 reports feedback from
the VPH-CaSE Supervisory Board which will be used to inform implementation of the training
programme and a template for the ESR Personal Career Development Plan is provided in section 5.
This will form the basis for monitoring and reporting development of researcher skills throughout
the implementation of VPH-CaSE.

Overcoming language barriers:
• Mobility is an important facet of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions. The Supervisory
Board was concerned that in addition to Network-Wide training activities ESRs
should receive the same level of local training as other PhD candidates within the host
centres.
VPH-CaSE considered that particular resources that are not delivered in English locally will
be reviewed for inclusion in the Network-Wide training programme, providing added value to
the entire VPH-CaSE ESR cohort.
4.1 Summary!of!‘skills!gap’!feedback!
The Supervisory Board recommended that, although complementary skills are described in
some detail in the ESR skills profile, effort should be directed to address the following issues:
• Communication of scientific ideas to a non-scientific audience. For both scientific
and non-scientific audiences, fluency in oral and written English was highlighted as a
key skill. In addition, specific skills were identified as relevant for non-scientific
communication, e.g. communication with managers within the heath sector. Here
there are competing demands for services and equipment to be used for patients rather
than research purposes. Effective, straight forward and empathetic communication
here is important in the workplace. The ability to describe work in a simple language
is crucial.
• Interaction between research scientists and other scientists within the same
discipline: For example, in the UK, research scientists and STP (students on the
Scientific Training Programme, run by the National School of Healthcare Science,
UK) trainees may benefit from learning from each other and sharing experiences.
This has value from both perspectives: (i) STP trainees choose to pursue a PhD to
further their careers, (ii) PhD students may choose to complete STP training if they
are to pursue a career as clinical healthcare scientists.
• Grant writing skills: It is important to recognise that skills relating to definition of
research questions, identification of state-of-the-art and requirements for future
research can be fostered independent of specific writing skills. These might be
considered earlier in the delivery of the training programme.
The Supervisory Board identified specific additional skills that should be monitored as part of
the review process of the Personal Career Development Plan provided in Section 5.
For example, a student who wishes to pursue a career in medical Ultrasound in the UK
healthcare environment would benefit from the following skills:
Quality assurance methodologies for ultrasound equipment: both from the
scientific, safety and management viewpoint.

Opportunities to gain certified skills in clinical ultrasound scanning of patients: In
the UK a scientist cannot scan patients (e.g. for a research study) unless they have
undertaken some postgraduate training in ultrasound scanning.
As a further example, a student who wishes to pursue a career in medical device manufacture
would benefit from the following skills:
Knowledge and understanding of appropriate standards, methods and tools:
• Medical Guidance and Quality Systems (ISO 13485, FDA CFR Title 21, part 820)
• Risk Analysis (FMEA/FMECA)
• Six Sigma / Lean Manufacturing
• High Level Design Tools (QFD)

5 TEMPLATE'ESR'PERSONAL'CAREER'DEVELOPMENT'PLAN'
The following pages provide template forms for the ESR Personal Career Development Plan.
The recommended process for completion and monitoring of the PDP consists of an annual
cycle, starting in the 2nd month of each year of the IRP, described below. Primary
responsibility for completion of the PDP lies with the ESR, supported by the IRP supervisor.
Monitoring of the process will be undertaken by the Steering Committee, supported by
training delivered as part of the Network-wide training.
i) Initiate / Update Month 2 and 13 of IRP: ESR independently completes Training
Needs Analysis (TNA) (Table 1 and 2) at start of year 1 and year 2 of
IRP.
ii) Revise Month 2 and 13 of IRP: ESR and supervisor meet to discuss TNA
and revise – providing platform for discussion of required needs and
how these will be met.
iii) Review During VPH-CaSE training events 1 – 4: short sessions will be
scheduled at the start and end of each training event to allow ESRs to
reflect on their skills development and discuss training opportunities
as a group, where appropriate supported by the Steering Committee
and Supervisory Board. This will also provide an opportunity to
complete Table 4 to ensure Personal Skills Portfolio is up to date.
iv) Finalise Month 13 and 25 of IRP: ESR independently completes Personal
Skills Portfolio (Table 3) at start of year 2 and year 3 of IRP.
v) Complete Month 13 and 25 of IRP: ESR and supervisor meet to discuss
Personal Skills Portfolio and revise – providing platform for
discussion of career progression and planning for opportunities
beyond the VPH-CaSE training programme.
