Four Ellison-Cliffe Travelling Fellowships winners announced
The Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) has announced the four successful applicants of the 2024 Ellison-Cliffe Travelling Fellowships. The prestigious fellowships offer substantial financial awards to support senior registrars and early career consultants undertaking specialist training overseas.
The travelling fellowships are designed to cover expenses for travel abroad to one or two centres, for a period of no less than six months, in pursuit of further study, research or clinical training. The latest candidates bring the number of fellowships awarded since inception of the awards to 55. The 2024 successful applicants are:
- Mr Eoin Dinneen, ST7 in urology, will be spending a year working at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia
- Dr Judith Jade, rheumatology registrar, will be undertaking a year-long fellowship in myositis in Vancouver, Canada from July 2024
- Dr Livia Faes, ophthalmologist, is spending a year at the Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York
- Mr Rory Cuthbert, ST8 trauma and orthopaedic surgery registrar, will complete a one-year clinical fellowship at the Sydney Shoulder Research Institute based at Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney, Australia
Dr Melita Irving, Chair of the Ellison-Cliffe Charitable Trust, which awards the fellowships, said: “Reviewing applications for the fellowships along with the shortlisting committee is a delight each year. It’s a privilege to be party to the plans these ambitious healthcare professionals have, and we’re delighted to be able to support four excellent candidates in seeking out the very best educational opportunities overseas.”
The Ellison-Cliffe Travelling Fellowships were set up in 2004 by the late Dr Carice Ellison-Cliffe and her husband Dr Percy Cliffe through their charitable foundation, which also supports an eponymous lecture given each year at the RSM which explores science at the coalface of medicine.
Towards the end of each year, previous recipients of the fellowship return to the RSM to present their experiences from their time working abroad. Keep an eye on the RSM website for upcoming details of the 2024 presentation evening.
