NurseAid
The Charity awards a travel scholarship every year. The purpose of the scholarship is to allow a nurse to travel to other countries to learn from colleagues working in the same field and to bring ideas back to the UK.
This has led to the development of many innovative services and the advancement of nursing practise within the UK. The award of the scholarship is administered through the Florence Nightingale Foundation.
Scholars who have received this award have reported that it has helped to advance their own careers as well as contributing to improvements in patient care.
As our most recent scholar, Dr. Alun Jones, has said:
'This opportunity to study internationally has enriched my knowledge, inspired my research and heightened my appreciation of the sensitivities involved with providing and receiving mental health studies'.
