Invitation to celebrate IMH Flagship pilot scheme to support Voluntary and Health sectors into research.
Medical Humanities in Practice: Celebrating the 2025–26 Fellows
We warmly invite you to join us at this celebratory event marking our flagship initiative: the Medical Humanities in Practice Research Fellowship on 19 June 2026, to recognise the value of collaborative research initiatives with Community and Health sectors.
At the event we will hear from four fellows from the 2025–26 cohort, who will share the research projects they have developed, their experience of the scheme and their on-going plans.
This will also be a chance to find out more about research in Voluntary, Community and Health sectors and how Universities can support research capacity building and help encourage novel research collaborations with community and health sectors.
11:00 to 12:30: Hear from our Fellows
12:30 to 13:30: Lunch
Lunch: Attendees are also welcome to join us for lunch following the Fellow’s presentations for further conversations with our Fellows and key cross-sector partners.
Register for the event and optional lunch via this Microsoft Form by 3rd June 2026. We would be very happy to provide any further information if helpful.
The 2025–2026 pilot cohort has brought together a diverse and inspiring group of fellows, whose work demonstrates the value and potential of cross-sector collaboration and knowledge exchange in health research. The initiative is already generating new collaborations between fellows and Durham researchers within the Institute.
About the event The event will provide an opportunity to:
Celebrate the achievements of the inaugural fellowship cohort
Showcase research projects and key learning from the programme
Reflect on the role of medical humanities within the wider health research ecosystem
Connect with fellows, health and voluntary sector partners, and colleagues involved in the initiative
Your attendance would be a meaningful recognition of the fellows’ achievements and the contributions of research mentors, as well as Durham’s commitment to collaborative and engaged research.
Thank you for considering this invitation. We very much hope you can join us in celebrating this important initiative.
