ISMC 2023 (2)

BSS ISMC Grant

Applications are now closed

The BSS appreciates that the ‘Cost of Living’ crisis affects potentially interested participants and may deter from registration. To allow those affected and unable to attend without substantial support the BSS have made available five places (of up to £950) for prospective delegates.

Applications will be considered from the whole multiprofessional team but we are particularly keen to support more junior members and those in lower pay grades.

BSS reserves the right to close the application date early.
