Churchill Fellowships awarded to Health Professionals

The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust has just awarded 10 Travelling Fellowships to nurses and allied health professionals.

The Churchill Fellows will investigate overseas approaches that have had a positive impact on a range of healthcare issues, returning with new solutions that benefit their working practice and communities here in the UK.

Nurses, midwives and the allied health professions make up the majority of the healthcare workforce and play a pivotal role in direct care to patients.1
The Nursing and Allied Health Professions Fellowships are running as part of a partnership with the Burdett Trust for Nursing, with support from the Royal College of Nursing and the FoNS Centre for Nursing Innovation. An investment of over £65,000 has been made in people in this field travelling in 2017.

They will travel to five countries between them, across three continents.
