Closed: Re-opens Autumn 2025
Applications are invited from fellows of the College, in good standing and holding a consultant's post.

Value of the award
Successful applicants will be awarded a grant that is intended to be a contribution to economy travel up to a value of £400. Requests for retrospective awards will not be considered.
As a condition of the award, successful applicants must submit an adequate report of their visit within six weeks of return. Applicants who do not submit a report will have the award withdrawn.
