Travel Bursary Scheme
IntroductionThe British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) is uniquely placed to facilitate, coordinate and deliver high quality education for its members. At times of financial constraint, securing support to attend National, European and International congresses/conferences has become increasingly difficult. The BCS, through support from the British Heart Foundation and industry has been able to provide some travel bursaries to attend the BCS Annual Conference but is now able to extend support to attend certain congresses/conferences through its Travel Bursary Scheme.
Eligibility for Travel Bursary SchemeThe scheme is open to all members of the BCS who fulfil the criteria below :
Consultants and other members presenting at ACC/ESC or Trainees at ST3 level or above, presenting (including posters) at
