Graduate School Full Bursary PhD Scholarship

Funded by HOPE Against Cancer.

Mary Seacole Research Centre (MSRC)

Commencing October 2017 or the earliest after

A PhD research scholarship including stipend and tuition fee costs is offered within the Mary Seacole Research Centre in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. It is available to UK or EU students who are suitably qualified and have outstanding potential as a researcher.

In offering this scholarship the University aims to further develop its proven research strengths in ethnicity and health inequalities. It is an excellent opportunity for a candidate of exceptional promise to contribute to a stimulating, world-class research environment.

Leicester is one of England’s most culturally diverse cities with approximately 50% of its population from Black and Minority Ethnic groups, particularly from South Asian communities. Historically, South Asian women were considered to have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than white British women. However, evidence indicates that this trend is changing and the incidence of breast cancer is increasing in South Asian women. Published data on ethnicity and breast cancer in the UK is limited. There are indications that South Asian women engage with breast cancer screening programmes less frequently than white British women. The aim of this study are to investigate the barriers faced by South Asian and African Caribbean women in accessing breast screening services and to identify solutions and develop best practice guidelines for improving access to breast cancer screening services. This PhD studentship will be supervised by Dr Lynn Furber and Professor Raghu Raghavan. This studentship is funded by Hope Against Cancer Charity.
