BSACI Medical Scholarships Scheme 2025 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 2025 being held at the ICC Wales from Thursday 16th-Saturday 18th October. 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 2025 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.

2. 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.
3. Send us a supporting letter from your current supervisor.
4. A brief CV
5. Abstract submission for the conference is encouraged but is not a requirement.
