This scholarship is to the value of £3,000 and it is anticipated that this would enable a surgeon at the end of his/her training, or a consultant within 5 years of appointment, to make a substantial visit to a unit abroad to learn new skills in endoscopic surgery, with a view to introducing them to the UK. The AESGBI are also awarding 2 Keymed travelling scholarships of £1,000. The purpose of these scholarships is to enable surgeons in training, or young consultants within 5 years of appointment, to extend their experience in minimal access surgery by short visits to one or more centres. There are other opportunities!Slide41: If anybody would like to know more, then I recommend they go to Duke’s Club events!
