Medical Student Bursary
The British and Irish Association of Stroke Physicians, the Stroke Association and NIHR RDN Stroke National Specialty Group are delighted to support the 2025 UK Stroke Research Workshop at Newcastle University. The meeting will be in person.
It follows highly successful workshops held in Cambridge, Manchester, Leicester, Sheffield and London, and Keele. There will be updates on the latest stroke research including sessions on brain and heart, intracerebral haemorrhage, less common causes of stroke, translational rehabilitation research, and vascular cognitive impairment. There will also be an interactive workshop on big data in stroke for early career researchers.
A full bursary funded by the Jane White Stroke Research Fund (covering registration fees, accommodation and dinner as well as £100 towards travel) is available for medical students. Additional partial bursaries may be available. Applications can be submitted by medical students, including those 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.
All submissions should be uploaded to https://www.strokeworkshop.uk. Queries should be addressed to [email protected]. The closing date is 13th June 2025.
Abstracts should be laid out in the following format:
