2010 Moynihan Travelling Fellowship

The Association’s prestigious Moynihan Travelling Fellowship, up to the value of £5,000, is available annually by open competition to Specialist Registrars towards the end of higher surgical training or Consultants within five years of appointment at the closing date for this application. The Fellowship is intended to enable the successful candidate to broaden their education and to present and discuss their contribution to British and Irish surgery overseas.  It is not appropriate, however, that the award be used as part-funding for an off-service year of training. 

Candidates must be residents of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland but need not be either Fellows or Affiliate Fellows of the Association; however they should be engaged in general surgery or in one of its specialties.  A full Curriculum Vitae should be submitted giving details of all past and present appointments and publications, together with a detailed account of the proposed programme of travel, costs involved and objectives to be achieved during the Fellowship. 

The Committee will pay particular attention to originality, scope and feasibility of the proposed itinerary.  The successful candidate will be expected to act as an ambassador for British and Irish Surgery and should be fully acquainted with the aims and objectives of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and its role in surgery.

After the Fellowship, the successful candidate will be required to provide a written report of their Fellowship for inclusion in the Association’s Newsletter, and to address the 2012 International Surgical Congress.  A critical appraisal of the Centres visited, together with an assessment of how the experience will enhance future personal and professional development, should form the basis of the report.

The deadline for applications for the 2010 Moynihan Travelling Fellowship is Monday 4th October 2010. Applicants will be contacted by mid-October with the result of their application and interviews will be held on Tuesday 9th November 2010 at the Royal College of Surgeons.
