RCGP International Travel Scholarship

The RCGP International Travel Scholarships offer GPs and family doctors the opportunity to undertake projects or study outside of their home country. Successful participants experience family medicine overseas in order to enhance their effectiveness, develop knowledge of best practice and make a difference at home and abroad. Any General Practitioner can apply for the awards (including RCGP members or non members and, UK residents and international GPs at any career stage.) Awards range from £200-£2000.

These awards can be used for:

  • International exchange or study to increase the quality of education and delivery of general practice or family medicine.
  • Overseas travel from the UK to study aspects of health care relevant to general practice in the UK.
  • Overseas doctors to visit the UK to study an aspect of primary care relevant to their own country’s family medicine needs.
  • General practitioners from the UK to travel overseas and help other countries develop their primary health care systems.
