ANNOUNCING THE IOLANTHE MIDWIFERY TRUST AWARDS FOR 2002
The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust is a registered charity that aims to promote and
improve the care of mothers, babies and families through awarding grants and
fellowships in support of midwifery education, practice and research. This year
we are offering the following awards:
EDUCATION BURSARIES
These bursaries are worth £1000 each and are awarded to individuals to enable
them to undertake a period of professional education to improve their practice.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate that the programme undertaken is relevant
to their current interests and will lead to improvements in care through
practice, education or management studies. Four educational bursaries will be
awarded.
GENERAL AWARDS
These awards are made to individuals or groups wishing to embark upon a project
specifically designed to enhance the care of mothers, their babies or their
families or wishing to improve their practice by undertaking a specific project
or activity such as an educational visit within the UK or abroad.
STUDENT BURSARIES
Student bursaries are being offered for the first time in 2002 to
pre-registration students seeking support for attendance at study days or to
undertake elective visits.
BRITISH HOSPITAL MOTHERS AND BABIES BREAST FEEDING AWARD
This award was made possible through a generous donation of funds from the
Friends of the British Hospital for Mothers and Babies following its closure in
1984. In recognition of the BHMB's international reputation in the promotion of
breast-feeding, the monies are used to finance an award focused on practice in
support of breast-feeding. It differs from other Iolanthe awards in that it is
used to reward achievement (good practice, education or management) rather than
to fund an educational course or project. This is the final year of the BHMB
award, worth £1300.
