Abstract
BESS has always been fully committed to education and as part of this offers several fellowships to assist members in developing their knowledge and skills.
The awards are made at the Annual Scientific Meeting and are given on the basis of an interview by members of the Education Committee and Past Presidents of BESS.
Two Travelling Fellowships are available for travel to one or more centres in the USA or Europe.
The Mayo award enables the recipient to attend the Mayo Clinic course and to stay on for a short time with Dr. Shawn O'Driscoll afterwards.
The Allied Health Professional (AHP) award enables an AHP to travel to one or more centres to further their experience and knowledge.
The Continuous Professional Development (CPD) award is designed for a senior grade or junior consultant to enable them to attend a major conference or meeting.
