Travel award
RCN members currently working in the field of TB are invited to apply for a travel and/or research award, up to the sum of £10,000, which is sponsored by the Department of Health in England.
Applicants must demonstrate how their proposal will:
- have a positive impact on clinical practice
- improve the patient experience
- contribute to personal and professional development
- enable the implementation of the national TB plan
- advance the art and science of nursing.
Applicants are expected to identify areas of proven good practice in other countries, demonstrating how this could be transferred to the UK. Successful applicants will be expected to speak at a national conference, publish widely and ensure that all learning is thoroughly disseminated.
