NIHR ARC Wessex Addiction Flagship
Based in Psychiatry
Alcohol- and gambling-related harms can have substantial effects on people’s mental and physical health, relationships, finances and wider lives.
The NIHR ARC Wessex Addiction Flagship is developing a connected programme of applied research, implementation and partnership activity focused on improving the identification of, and response to, alcohol- and gambling-related harms. The programme brings together academic, NHS, local authority, voluntary and community sector, policy and lived-experience partners, with an emphasis on developing approaches that are relevant to real-world services and can be adapted and implemented across different communities and health and care systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
