The route to Partner

We have recently completed the COMORANT-UK study which has identified 7 top questions through consensus for prioritisation by trialists, funders, data providers and regulators: Mitchard, D., Widger, P. and Haddad, A. 2021. Analysis of light emission and Schlieren from short gap high voltage streamers representing lightning impulses. Scientific Reports 11(1), article number: 24324. ( 10.1038/s41598-021-03839-y)

From November 2023, Health Data Research (HDR) Futures will include training material developed by the PRIMORANT study for trialists working with routine data. I have a degree in electrical and electronic engineering and a doctorate in high voltage electrical engineering. I have research experience in high voltage engineering, magnetics and studying lightning phenomena working with industrial project partners such as National Grid, Rolls Royce, Western Power Distribution, UK Power Networks and Scottish and Southern Electric. My Research After an early career working with a sole practitioner, where she got a taste of everything including family law, she recognised that the rising Celtic Tiger would bring opportunities for a corporate lawyer. After completing a postgraduate diploma in financial services law Widger secured a job at a large, Dublin-based domestic law firm, joining the firm’s investment funds group and staying for 13 years.Widger, T.

Widger also chairs the Dublin strand of ‘100 Women in Finance’, a global affinity group for women working within the finance and alternative investment sectors. The group aims to provide support for women in these areas throughout their careers. “We’re at over 500 members now. We run events and have regular committee meetings. I would encourage women lawyers to get involved, as the network provides a platform to meet peers in other organisations that are encountering the same issues.” What advice does Widger have for women lawyers out there who one day want to fill leadership positions like her? “Ultimately everybody reaches that level because they work hard and there’s no substitute for that,” says Widger, before adding: “Work hard and – this sounds corny – be kind and decent to people. Remember you are the one in control of your destiny and you’re the only one who can get the right work/life blend. You have to be very disciplined about that, as no one is ever going to turn around and say ‘Go home, you’re working too hard!’” WHILE watching LA Law as a kid initially sparked Carol Widger’s interest in becoming a lawyer, it wasn’t until her final years at school in Ireland that her intention was fully set: she did some work experience at a law office and became focused on pursuing a career in law.
