FELLOWSHIPS

The Charity introduced a Fellowship scheme in 1997 to enable clinicians, nurses, clinical scientists and related health professionals living and working in the UK to advance their knowledge and expertise in the treatment of leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and myelodysplasia.

Fellowships are intended to support attendance at conferences, workshops, short term visits to centres of excellence for specialist training courses and formal in-house training. Fellowships are not awarded for general educational courses or for first or master degree courses, though we will consider applications for haematological modules of degree courses.

Applications  

Applications are assessed 4 times each year.  The closing dates for submissions are the last working day in August, November, February and May.   

It can take up to 6 weeks following the closing date for applications to be processed and awards announced.  It is therefore essential that applications are made in a timely manner as no application will be considered for an event that has taken place prior to the closing date.

Nurses

The Charity is very keen to support nurses and the Fellowship Panel will consider reviewing applications from nurses to attend short specialist courses within 4 weeks of receiving an application.
