BSACI Medical Scholarships Scheme 2026 for Doctors interested in Adult Allergy and Clinical Immunology
BSACI is offering financial support to junior doctors to facilitate their ability to attend BSACI Annual Conference 2026 being held at the ICC Wales from Sunday 11th-Tuesday 13th October 2026. With the increasing prevalence of allergy within the UK and the shortage of allergy expertise, BSACI aims to support trainees to find out more about this evolving and dynamic specialty.
The 2026 BSACI Medical Scholarships Scheme is open to FY2 doctors, Clinical Fellows and IMT trainees in the UK. This is a fantastic opportunity for junior doctors to experience what an exciting career in Allergy and Clinical Immunology looks like and how rewarding being a member of the UK allergy community can be.
How to apply:
- The scheme is open to all FY2 doctors, Clinical Fellows and IMT trainees in the UK with an interest in or considering a career in Adult Allergy. We will pay out retrospectively for two nights accommodation up to £150, cover your conference fees, plus reimburse travel costs up to £140.
- Send us a cover letter (300-400 words main text) detailing how you would benefit from this scholarship and explaining the motivation for your interest in this field. Please also include how you can help increase awareness of the specialty of allergy either within your department or with other trainees after the conference, such as a grand round presentation, a trainee learning event or a department meeting.
- A brief CV.
- And a supporting letter from your current supervisor.
- Abstract submission for the conference is encouraged but is not a requirement.
- Submissions open on Monday 26th January 2026.
