A scholarship to help post graduate students study for a second clinical degree is being offered again by Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital.
It’s the second time the Leslie Fitch Scholarship has been made available and will start from September this year.

If you or someone you know would like to follow in Rebecca’s footsteps to embark on a second degree in any NHS clinical area, then please submit your application for the academic year 2026-27 when the window opens on Monday 12 January 2026.”
