Madeleine Steel Travel Fellowship

The Madeleine Steel fellowship is an annual fellowship (£10,000) awarded on a competitive basis to doctors (trainees and consultants) and allied professionals (including nurses, clinical physiologists etc) working in congenital heart disease in the United Kingdom. The award is used to enable the holder to travel to a centre of excellence in North America to gain further experience, learn a new technique and to conduct research.

Candidates will be assessed on the overall quality of the program they have planned, new skills or research experience that will be gained, their career trajectory to date and the potential of this grant to further develop their career and to improve clinical practice in the UK. 
 
The application process for 2023 is open. Submission deadline is 17.00hrs on Monday 5th June 2023. Applications received after this deadline will not be considered. Applicants will be informed of the outcome before the end of August 2023. Further details can be found on the BCCA website.

Applicants should send details of their application (by e-mail) to the Scientific Secretary (contact details below) on a maximum of 2 A4 pages (Arial font 12). The application should include a description of what you propose to do, the anticipated costs, what the fellowship funds will be used for and how this could improve UK clinical practice. A letter of support from the host primary supervisor should also be submitted with the application and a copy of your CV.

Applicants should already be a current member of BCCA (verification checks will be carried out following submission).
