Successful candidates for this year’s Colledge Family Fund

05 June 2023

Members will be aware that the late Cecilia Colledge endowed a fund at RCS England in memory of her father Lionel, a past-president of our Association and a famous head and neck surgeon in the pre-war years in London. The fund exists to support young surgeons who are either in late-stage training or new consultants (within five years of appointment) to gain knowledge and experience overseas.

Each year, applicants are assessed by an ENT-UK-based committee and approximately £100,000 is awarded. For 2023/24, we are delighted to announce that the following candidates have been successful. The next round of applications will open in early 2024.
