Medical Student Bursary
The 2023 UK Stroke Research Workshop, organised under the auspices of the NIHR CRN Stroke Speciality and generously supported by the Stroke Association, and the British and Irish Association of Stroke Physicians will be held on 27th and 28th September 2023 in London. The meeting will be in person.
It follows highly successful workshops held in Cambridge, Manchester, Leicester and Sheffield, at which we have had a large medical student presence. The workshop promises to be a very exciting two days with some excellent National and International speakers. It’s a great opportunity for hearing about the latest in stroke research, exchanging ideas between experienced stroke specialists and other young researchers, meeting other researchers, and presenting your work.
There will be updates on the latest stroke research including sessions on novel treatment approaches in stroke including AI, Unravelling Mechanisms in stroke Rehabilitation towards better treatments, what’s new in brain imaging in stroke, brain-immune interactions in stroke, and controversies in stroke.
A number of fully funded bursaries (registration fees, accommodation and dinner as well as £100 towards travel) are available for medical students. One of these is funded from the Jane White Stroke Research Fund. At our last meeting in Sheffield, we funded about 10 bursaries. Applications can be submitted by medical students in their final year who will be doctors at the time of the meeting.
To apply submit a one page abstract of a research project in stroke you have carried out – you should be prepared to present this orally or as a poster. We welcome both clinical and pre-clinical projects. This should be structured with title; authors; institution; background, methods, results, conclusions.
Any queries should be sent to ukstrokeresearchworkshop@gmail.com. The closing date is 30th June 2023.
