Programme Title: The Dunhill Medical Trust and British Geriatrics Society Research Training Fellowship scheme.

Summary: Their focus is on projects that have the potential to prevent, delay or reduce future health and social care requirements, in particular improve the ability to maintain functional independence for older adults. They particularly welcome applications for projects which relate to the COVID-19 outbreak and have the potential to contribute to the understanding of, and response to, the pandemic and its impact on older people’s healthcare in the UK.

The Dunhill Medical Trust has partnered with the British Geriatrics Society to co-fund three three-year Doctoral Training Fellowships to support front-line health professionals with an interest in developing a research career. The first recipient of this award is Adeela Usman, University of Nottingham. Her fellowship project is Developing a Quality of Life Tool Around Resident and Family Priorities Which Can Be Used Routinely to Support Quality of Care in Care Homes.

Applications for the second fellowship will open in April 2020.
