Details
The objective of the Ethicon Foundation Fund Travelling Fellowship, established through the generosity of Ethicon Limited, is to promote international goodwill in medicine and surgery by means of grants to assist the international travel of surgeons.
The following conditions for the receipt of an award apply:
- Applicants must be MRCS(Glasg) or FRCS(Glasg) and in a higher training post in the UK, or equivalent elsewhere in the world.
- The proposed work experience, research or other study should be of clear benefit to the individual's training and to the NHS or equivalent on return.
- Periods abroad should generally be between 1-12 months.
- Awards will not be given for the sole purpose of attending meetings, or conferences to present papers or for undertaking a series of brief visits to multiple centres.
All applications must be prospective; no award will be made retrospectively e.g. if your proposal is taking place in 2027, you must submit your application by the closing date of 15 November 2026. This is to ensure all applications are ready for review, which takes place in January annually. If your fellowship is taking place in 2026, the deadline has passed.
