I have received several requests for information regarding this student
fellowship from people outside the UK or people who are neither registered
on the NMC nor members of the allied health professions.
It might therefore be useful to mention that these studentships are open to
UK residents who are registered with the NMC or one of the Allied
Professions councils, willing to take up one of the contracts of employment
that accompany the studentships.
The funding of this studentship comes from a UK charity and is therefore
aimed at one of these professionals to develop a programme of research that
would make a difference to the health care in the UK.
I hope that this clarification will make the situation clearer and prevent
people who would not be eligible to apply from wasting their time in
applying for a studentship that they could not qualify for.
I do appreciate that this might be frustrating for some people who would be
interested in such a studentship, and I therefore wish them well in any
other future application they may make in the UK or elsewhere.
