These scholarships, which are available to all British
and Commonwealth nurses and midwives registered with the NMC and working
in the UK, are awarded for projects connected with the applicant's field
of work and which will benefit their patients/clients and the professions
more widely.
Candidates should have at least two years' professional experience subsequent
to registration. Applications from those at the developmental stage of their
career are particularly welcome.
The amount awarded to each individual depends on the scope of the project
to be undertaken, its length (study leave must be for a minimum of 3-4 weeks)
and the country or countries proposed for the particular study. The study
may be carried out in the UK, in an overseas country or countries, or a
combination of both.
A report (which will be made available to the professions) is required
within four months of commencing study leave.
The selection process which takes place in the autumn will enable Scholars
to undertake study tours during the following year.
