Open to practitioners who are working clinically in any healthcare setting in the UK, applicants must make their initial submissions by mid-January 2016, with the scholarship awarded and winner announced in mid-February.
The scholarship is targeting in particular those at ward sister level or equivalent: emphasis is placed not only on developing the scholar as a facilitator and leader, but also on enabling them to develop the team they work with.
The winner of the scholarship will attend a five-day residential practice development school in April 2016, with the cost of the course (plus accommodation, food and travel expenses) covered by the scholarship.
Additionally, the winner will receive a year of bespoke mentorship from FoNS to support an innovation in their practice; this will include face-to-face visits as well as support via email and telephone. The winner will also have the chance to work towards publishing a paper the International Practice Development Journal, and will be entitled to Honorary FoNS Associate registration for 12 months.
