PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT GRANTS
Professional Development Grants help to support the cost of individuals'
continuing professional development. Staff in independent voluntary
hospices are eligible for funding towards attending accredited courses
(at certificate, diploma and degree level), conferences, and study days
across a wide range of disciplines.
Funding
for staff in NHS units, other hospices or in nursing homes is exclusively
for training in palliative care. A maximum of 50% of the fees (up to
£750 pa) may be awarded to individuals whose applications must
be endorsed by their employer.
The programme is administered on a 'fast-track' process; we aim to make
a decision on an application within one month of receiving it.
