DSAs for Health Care Students
I have been sent two documents on these. The first is the full works
and is called the NHS Bursary Scheme. It is smaller than but
equivalent to the DfEE full guidance on awards sent to LEAs. I
asked permission to publish its contents and this was given so as
soon as I can get it scanned (Patrick from UCL said he'd do it for
us) I shall put it on a Web site and let you know.
The other is the equivalent of the DfEE "Bridging the Gap" in that it
is aimed at students -but is not confined to disabled students only.
Its title is
Financial Help for Health Care Students
It explains the rules in plain English, including accessing the
DSAs. The letter which came with it clearly wants the existence of
this "user-friendly" version to be widely circulated and you are
encouraged to get your own copy from:
NHSB Dept. of Health
PO Box 410
Wetherby LS23 7LN
I don't think it is appropriate to scan this one, if you need it you
probably would want the printed version, or even several copies.
