Opportunities for foundation doctors
RCPsych Foundation Doctor Congress Bursary
Applications for the 2027 bursary will open on 9 November 2026.
The College has launched a new bursary for Foundation Doctors to attend RCPsych International Congress. The bursary includes free registration to one day of Congress, and up to £350 towards travel and accommodation.
Next year’s Congress will be held in Glasgow from 14 to 17 June. Successful applicants will be invited to attend on Tuesday 15 June. You will be invited to a networking breakfast on that day and able to access the full day's programme.
Please note, if you are selected for the bursary you will need to agree study leave in line with your local processes. If you are unable to attend on the selected date, the bursary cannot be transferred to another date or event. Please inform us immediately if this is the case so that we can try to reallocate your place.
Eligibility
To apply you must:
- Be enrolled in a current UK Foundation Programme at date of Congress
- Be a current Foundation Doctor Associate member of the College (sign up for Foundation Doctor Associate membership here - it's free!)
- Not hold a previous RCPsych fellowship or bursary (e.g. Psych Star, PFF, Aggrey Burke Fellow. Does not include one-off bursaries to attend other conferences).
If you have any questions, please email careers@rcpsych.ac.uk.
