2. Any courses or leave pertaining to gaining a diploma or higher degree
These are optional, and not part of your primary aim which is to pass the FRCS (TR/ORTH). All funded courses should have a learning content with a specific purpose toward the exam. Attendance at meeting such as the BOA and specialist societies meetings is encouraged and may also be funded, especially if you are presenting. Overseas meetings and courses are judged on individual merit, and may receive a grant only. If in doubt please ask Mr Tomlinson or Mr Ali.
