International Travel Scholarships

 

International Travel Scholarships (ITS) assist any General Practitioner / Family Doctor in the world in undertaking the study of an aspect of primary healthcare in an international context.


ITS

 

The ITS awards are open to both members and non-members from inside and outside the UK.
 
They enable GPs from the UK to undertake international study of an aspect of primary healthcare that is relevant to their country's needs. They also assist overseas family doctors to visit the UK and study an aspect of primary healthcare relevant  to their own country’s needs, or to help develop their own systems of primary care. The value of each scholarship award normally ranges from £200 to £1,000. 

 

ITS Awards

As well as the ITS awards, the Katharina Von Kuenssberg and John J Ferguson awards are made each January and August respectively for the most outstanding International Travel Scholarship application submitted.
