CNWL Arts Psychotherapies and Brunel Medical School Partnership Research Projects (Formerly known as the Horizons Project)
As part of our partnership with Brunel University London we have the opportunity to support medical students investigating new areas of inquiry that will advance the field of medical humanities.
Projects are designed by leading professionals in medical humanities and are structured to accommodate up to 5 medical students over a 6 week period. There is a bursary of up to £2000 to support associated research costs, such as conferences, travel, equipment and training requirements.
If you have a project that may be of interest you can apply by completing this form (see appendix 1 below) and send it to icapt.cnwl@nhs.net before 20 July each year.
