Do you work in Scotland and are looking for a bursary to further your studies? 

The Scottish Haematology Society welcomes applications from trainees within haematology to apply for bursaries to further their studies in an area of malignant or non-malignant haematology with a grant of up to £1000. In exceptional cases larger grants maybe considered. 

Bursary applications could include: 

•  Support for a limited period of clinical study at a centre of excellence in the UK or abroad. 
• Limited periods of study in a specialist laboratory in order to learn a scientific technique for use in a subsequent research project. 
• Support to attend a conference or educational meeting.  Meetings where the applicant is presenting work will be given priority.
• All reasonable requests will be reviewed.

Successful candidates will be expected to produce a short-written report summarising their experience and the benefits gained from the period of study.
