What sort of grants can we make for staff training?
We can provide support for course fees, conference attendance and associated travel and accommodation costs.
The more our Hospital staff are trained, the better the outcomes for patients, and the more fulfilling you will find your career. We recognise that NHS funding for vital education and training is increasingly squeezed and other support can be difficult to find. If you have exhausted all other sources of funding and can convince us of the benefits that will result for you and your patients, apply using the button below. We will also need to see support for what you want to do from your line manager or department head.
Who can apply?
All staff working or training at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, at any level, can apply to us for help to further their careers and the care they give to patients.
How to apply
If you are a member of staff at St Bartholomew’s Hospital seeking funding for education, training or conference attendance, please complete our online application form here.
What sort of grants can we make for staff welfare?
We have some limited funds to help individual staff members in emergencies, where unexpected costs have arisen, perhaps due to illness or other family issues.
We do not have an online application form for staff seeking welfare grants. Instead, email [email protected] with a brief summary of your circumstances, why you are seeking a grant, and what the grant is needed for. All applications are considered in confidence.
Can members of staff apply for any other grants?
If a ward or department at Barts might benefit from the purchase of equipment or particular resources that would improve the wellbeing of staff and / or patients in that area, please get in touch.
Funds for the improvement of hospital facilities are limited but we have contributed towards the purchase of bereavement resources for children, crisis blankets for patients nearing the end of their life and the purchase of televisions and entertainment equipment for hospital day rooms, particularly to help improve the experience for long term in-patients and their families.
We have also offered grants towards the improvement of staff areas around the hospital through the purchase of new kitchen equipment or furniture.
Our trustees will want to know how the requested items will benefit patients and staff. We will only consider requests under this category where they have been refused by the Trust or are outside the limits of what the Trust can fund. We will require confirmation of this before approving any request.
We do not have an online application form for this type of request. Instead, please email [email protected] outlining your requirements and the associated costs.
