Travelling Scholarship - Value: Up to £600

The BSRM Travelling Scholarship is awarded annually on a competitive basis to facilitate travel for the purpose of furthering experience in Rehabilitation Medicine. It is open to all medical doctors, in training posts, in Non Consultant Career Grade posts, and Consultant posts working within the NHS in the UK. 

Applications should be made to BSRM upon an application form (RTF), supported by a submission of not more than 1000 words outlining:

the objective of travel

potential benefits to the applicant

relevance of the travel to practice of Rehabilitation Medicine

Applications must be submitted by September 28th and the Education Sub Committee of BSRM will adjudicate and decide to whom the Scholarship will be awarded by December 1st. In the event of two or more applications being of equal merit, preference will be given to applicants with limited access to alternative funding.

The Scholarship has a maximum value of £600. This may not be used to meet the costs of the travel in full. Applicants must indicate from where other funding has been sought.

It is a condition of the award of the Scholarship that the recipient must submit a written report to the BSRM on the travel within 3 months of its completion.

The decision of the Education Sub Committee is final and no communication can be entered into between applicants and the BSRM on this matter. It remains the right of BSRM not to award the Scholarship if no application of sufficient merit is made.
