A biennial travelling professorship formed by the combination of the funds from the Cochrane Shanks Jalil Travelling Fellowship and the Sir Howard Middlemiss Travelling Fellowship which have been joined together to be looked after by the RCR’s Global Outreach Forum. The Forum's aim is to co-ordinate philanthropic international activity of the College across both Faculties.
The new RCR International Travelling Fellowship will have two streams – one for clinical radiology and one for clinical oncology, with a team made up of a consultant and a trainee. These will be awarded annually and consist of two visits to ensure maximum benefit to the country in question.
Applications for the RCR International Travelling Fellowship 2023-2025 will open on 5 December 2022 and close at midday on 2 March 2023. To find more about the award please click here.
Sir Howard Middlemiss Travelling Professorship
The Sir Howard Middlemiss Travelling Professorship was established in 1985 in memory of the former President of the College, with the intention to 'foster radiology and radiography in lower and middle income countries'. The award was a travelling professorship open to clinical radiologists who held a consultant post in the UK who were Fellows of the RCR, and to diagnostic radiographers working in the UK, who were registered with the HCPC and members of the Society and College of Radiographers. The purpose of the visit was to support radiological and radiographic education in lower and middle income countries.
