Do you think that Medical Humanities approaches or methods could help you to better understand a critical issue in your practice? 

Applications have now opened for our Medical Humanities in Practice Research Fellowship scheme, which aims to support professionals and researchers from Health or Voluntary and Community sectors to develop research within the medical humanities. 

This year-long, funded Fellowship will enable you to develop or deliver a research project through a Medical Humanities lens on a critical issue encountered in your practice. This might include engagement activities to explore a topic or develop a research idea with potential collaborators from the medical humanities, community groups and/or health and VCSE sectors, such as exploratory workshops or focus groups. 

To find out more about the Fellowship and how to apply, please see our dedicated webpage.

The deadline for applications is 30 January 2026, 12:00 pm (noon).
