Apply today for a 2025 Elective Award

The four 4-8 week electives will cover research into areas of scarring, wound healing and visible difference-causing conditions, and are held in conjunction with four of our Partner Member Organisations: 

BAPRAS: British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons

BSSH: The British Society for Surgery of the Hand

BBA: British Burn Association

CFSGB&I: The Craniofacial Society of Great Britain and Ireland

The four Electives are competitive and externally assessed for rigour in research, quality supervision, and the potential impact on the student’s future career.

Previous recipients of our funding have gone on to undertake further research training, PhDs, and some have become NIHR Clinical Academic Fellows. Not sure what to expect? Read about Poppy and Cara’s 2024 electives here. 

The deadline to apply is 5pm 14 March 2025. Full details can be found on our Elective Awards 2025 page. Happy applying – and good luck!
