A new Royal College of Nursing education fund of £300,000 is now available to nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers in the NHS.
The Fund has been made possible by a donation from Deliveroo, raised by its customers and partners as part of their Supporting the NHS and vulnerable groups campaign.
It is estimated that 200 beneficiaries will be able to receive grants through this fund for further training and education in their field.
The Fund is now open for applications and will remain open until Tuesday 19 April 2022. Successful applicants can receive up to £1,600 towards educational courses. To apply visit the RCN website.
