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.
