The John Hamilton Travelling

This travelling fellowship is awarded from
funds bequeathed by Dr John Hamilton, past Honorary Secretary of

services in other countries. This travelling fellowship is intended

psychiatry to broaden their knowledge and experience through travel

others to develop mental disorder and/or criminality?
