AUGIS Travel Fellowships have been offered to Trainee Surgeon Members, providing support for trainee surgeons to visit units across the world, enabling the opportunity to learn and acquire new skills and experience which can then benefit their own unit in the UK. 

AUGIS hopes to support Travel Fellowships again in the near future. 

AUGIS Travel Fellowship Award

The AUGIS Travel Fellowships is for AUGIS Trainee Members/newly appointed consultants. Applications must include: 

• a detailed plan and purpose of visit
• details regarding the acquisition of skills and experience not available within own unit
• a breakdown of proposed costs
• a letter of support from own unit

One award is offered each year and the successful applicant will be required to provide written report regarding the fellowship, to AUGIS, within six months after the trip. Once the trip is over, the successful applicants may submit receipts along with a completed expense form to AUGIS up to the value of the award. Please note that funds are not provided to the successul applicant in advance of the visit.
