In 2023 we ran an essay competition for medical students, and the top three authors each won a year’s membership of the Faculty of Remote, Rural and Humanitarian Healthcare (courtesy of the FRRHH, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh), plus some prize money.
In 2024 we intend to offer a bursary scheme for medical electives.
