Childcare / Carer Grant
Application Deadline: Minimum 4 weeks before event
The Society recognises that some members may have caring responsibilities that may make it difficult to attend conferences and events because of the extra costs incurred in paying for the additional care needed while they are away.
The BMVBS childcare/carers grant can help members attend microcirculation-related events or conferences by contributing towards these additional costs of care.
There are no restrictions on how the grant will be used, except that it must contribute towards the costs associated with additional care needed and the member must be attending a microcirculation-related conference, meeting or event.
