Ronald Raven Barbers' Award

Closing date for application is 5 March 2010.

The Ronald Raven Barbers’ Award was established by the generosity of The Worshipful Company of Barbers (at Ronald Raven’s bequest). These awards are aimed at assisting trainee surgeons going abroad to develop their individual skills by special education or training of an innovative nature. In making grants, particular weight shall be given to the excellence of the applicant, the innovative qualities of the work to be done, and the relevance of such work to the ultimate benefit of patient care. It is not intended that the award should directly or indirectly benefit an institution of any kind. Applications for the award are sought from trainee surgeons in the UK. 

It is likely that two awards in the region of £1,500 will be made in each academic year. Normally the award to an individual will be for one academic year, but in special circumstances it may be given for a maximum of two years, subject to satisfactory reports at the end of first year.
