The BRITISH INSTITUTE OF RADIOLOGY (BIR) AND PHILIPS HEALCARE PARTNER IN TWO AWARDS FOR TRAINEES AND STUDENTS

Trainees and students are invited to apply for the BIR/Philips Trainee Award for Excellence and the BIR/Philips Student Travel Bursary launched by the BIR in partnership with Philips Healthcare. The deadline for this award is 28 February 2015.

The purpose of the Trainee Award for Excellence is to foster the development of multidisciplinary educational resources by, and for, trainees.

The student bursary aims to offer educational opportunities to students of any discipline to access opportunities which otherwise wouldn't be available without this cash prize.

Neil Mesher, Managing Director of Philips Healthcare said This is a fantastic way for trainees to showcase good practice and spread the word about their research. For students it's a way to get much-needed funding to broaden their experience. We welcome applications from everyone working in radiology, radiation oncology and the underlying sciences.

The BIR/Philips Trainee Award for Excellence

Trainees are invited to submit an educational resource which must be related to the theory and practice of radiology and radiation oncology. It must also be a resource that can be hosted on the BIR's website so should be in an electronic format e.g. PowerPoint presentation, paper, MCQ questions, etc. Applications will be accepted from groups of two or more (with at least two of the group coming from different disciplines). The winning group will receive a cash prize of £750 and a certificate.

The BIR/Philips Student Travel Bursary

Any full time student may apply for this bursary which provides financial assistance to attend a radiology or radiation oncology training event.

Both awards will be judged by the BIR Education Panel, which will include a representative from Philips.

Closing date for applications for both awards : 28 February 2015.
