Ethicon Foundation Fund Short-Term Clinical Visits

Closing date for applications: 1 October 2020

Applications are invited from fellows of the College, in good standing and holding a consultants post. Grants are awarded towards travel to the UK and Europe (consideration will be given to candidates who wish to travel further afield) to further enhance a specialty skill or experience that will not normally be available in the applicant’s own hospital.

Successful applicants will be awarded a grant which is intended to be a contribution for economy travel up to a value of £400. Requests for retrospective awards will not be considered.

As a condition of the award, successful applicants will be required to submit an adequate report of their visit within six weeks of return. Applicants who do not submit a report will have the award withdrawn.

All expenses should be given in sterling.
