Notice: Churchill Fellowships: an opportunity to make a difference

Churchill Fellowships are awarded by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust (WCMT) to enable UK citizens to explore innovative ideas abroad and return with new insights that address key issues facing our society. A wide range of categories are open to applicants at all levels and include health care and innovation in the 21st century, palliative care, suicide prevention, migration, rural communities, and access to health care.

Churchill Fellowships offer hard-pressed GPs an opportunity to take a short but valuable amount of time away from their work, to address some of these challenges. Fellows are funded to spend 4–8 weeks anywhere in the world, pursuing research of their own devising.

The WCMT was established in 1965, as a national memorial to Sir Winston Churchill, and has sent over 5500 Fellows worldwide.
