Westfield Nurses Travel Scholarships
Westfield Nurses Travel Scholarships give qualified Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors from the regions of Yorkshire and the Humber, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Rutland, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire the chance to look at initiatives in other parts of the world, learn from these and bring this fresh knowledge back to their own practice at home. The travel scholarships are also available for Nurses working in the public or private Occupational Health or Charitable Organisations in these regions.
The Westfield Nurses Travel Scholarships cover travel, accommodation and meal costs, with funding awards granted on an individual basis. We work with the selected nurses to organise their travel arrangements. There are no restrictions on areas that can be studied or destinations that can be chosen - awards are available for projects to be undertaken in the United Kingdom or any corner of the globe.
Applications can be submitted on an individual basis, or as part of a small team of no more than three people. However, the aim is to particularly encourage individual applicants and therefore priority will be given for such projects. The only condition is that the project must be related to clinical practical - Westfield awards are not available for academic study courses or conferences.
All applications should be submitted online at:
www.westfieldhealth.com/scholarship
and the closing date for this year is 21 December 2007.
Should the application be successful the interview dates are planned for 26 and 27 February 2008. The interview should last approximately 30 minutes, which will include a 10 minute presentation on the chosen project target.
The travel scholarships provide a fantastic opportunity for Nurses to bring initiatives back to your region and I do hope you will assist us in promoting the Westfield Nurses Travel Scholarships.
This is not only a wonderful opportunity for a nurse's individual development, but also assists organisations to review and develop service provision. We hope you will give us your support.
