The awards will be made in observance of all relevant legislation and without discrimination.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications, which should be made on the application form below, will be assessed by a Panel, chaired by the Registrar of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine.

In order to provide assurance that the charitable aims of Corporate Health are met, candidates will be required to define the educational objective(s) of their chosen activity. The relevance of the objectives and the quality of the justification will be taken into account by the Faculty in assessing applications.

The applicant must make it clear under which of the above criteria the application is being made. A detailed justification will be required setting out the personal and educational objectives to be achieved through the fellowship, the benefit to the individual’s portfolio and practice and how the individual will apply the educational benefit the fellowship is anticipated to deliver. The merit and quality of their justification will be taken into account by the Faculty in making its decision(s) on the award of funding. Successful candidates will be required to submit a report or appropriate evidence that they undertook the activity for which they received funding and the extent to which their educational goals were met, which will be posted on the Faculty website.
