The FSRH has a small amount of money originally given to us by the Department of Health (DH) for ‘top up’ funds for doctors wishing to do SRH training. We have agreed with the DH that this money can now be used to provide financial assistance to doctors working towards SRH Consultant eligibility via the CESR route.
Applications will be reviewed by the Chair of the Specialty Advisory Committee (SAC), the Vice President, Strategy and the Chair of the Assessment and Curriculum Committee, using the criteria set out below.
Grants will be awarded of up to £5,000 per applicant. You are not eligible to apply for a second grant if you have already been awarded one.
CRITERIA
- Current Member/Fellow/Diplomate of the FSRH (subscription fully paid).
- Registered with the GMC.
- Close to applying for a CESR in SRH (aiming to apply within the next 24 months).
- Finding it difficult to complete all the training needed to complete the CESR curriculum without financial assistance.
- Clear plan for what you would use the financial assistance for – able to describe which parts of the curriculum this would enable you to complete and to what timescale.
- Not had a previous successful application to this fund.
PLEASE NOTE that successfully applying for this fund will have no bearing on the outcome of your CESR as this is decided by the GMC.
TO APPLY
Please apply by filling in the on-line form below. You will receive an immediate notification of receipt and the FSRH will make a decision and inform you of it within 4 weeks of your application date.
