Hexarad’s Widening Participation Scholarship is back for its sixth edition
Hexarad’s Widening Participation Scholarship is back for its sixth edition, this time in partnership with the Radiology Resident Forum (RRF).
Radiology access and outcomes aren’t equal across the NHS. This scholarship is for UK radiology trainees and medical students from a minority ethnic background who’ve seen that firsthand and want to help change it. It offers a platform, mentorship, and practical support to take that forward.
This year’s applicants are invited to submit a two-minute video answering the question: What does an equitable radiology workforce look like in 10 years, and what’s one step you’d take to help build it?
Application deadline: Monday, November 30 2026, at 23:59pm.
Prizes include:
- Video published by the RRF
- Assignment to a project within the RRF
- £1,500 grant towards costs, including travel and accommodation, to present work at a conference
- One-year subscription to the Clinical Radiology Journal
All finalists will also receive the opportunity for mentorship from a consultant radiologist for support, advice and coaching.
Any format works, including video, animation or narrated slides.
Eligibility criteria:
- You are a medical student or junior doctor
- You identify as being from a minority ethnic background
- You attended a state-funded school
- Neither of your parents has worked as a doctor in the UK
