Leicestershire Healthcare Inequalities Improvement Doctoral Training Programme

This prestigious Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) will look to address the unique health issues faced by Leicester and Leicestershire’s ethnically and culturally diverse population, recently amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thanks to funding from Wellcome we are offering funding opportunities for up to 25 Research Fellows over five years to complete a PhD, providing under-represented healthcare professionals with the chance to pursue academic research.
