Networking bursaries

We also have a limited number of networking bursaries available. These are applicable to Consultant Psychiatrists or Higher Trainees who are engaged, or want the opportunity to engage, with medical students in their locality and/or Foundation Doctors who are on their psychiatry placements in Scotland.

This type of bursary has been utilised to positive effect in NHS Lanarkshire where a number of foundation lunches have taken place. Interested? Dr Neera Gajree has kindly developed a template to assist with the organisation of these as well as providing the presentation used during the informal event. Get in touch for further information.
