A range of educational opportunities is available to GP registrars - but financial constraints may mean they can't be exploited, pointed out the Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland (MDDUS) on Friday, 20 June 2008.

MDDUS is therefore offering two 1,000 pound education grants to successful applicants from GP practices across the UK. Both the registrar (training from August 2008) and trainer must be MDDUS members. The grant may fund any educational training, including attending courses or conferences, or buying text books.

"We are committed to promoting good medical practice and to helping our members to develop professionally, wherever they are in the UK," explains MDDUS chief executive Gordon Dickson. The closing date for entries is 31 January 2009: see www.mddus.com/mddus/2810.html for more details.
