Summary:
The British Medical Association (BMA) has been supporting medical research since 1839 and they are the oldest medical organisation in the world to award grants and prizes to encourage and further medical research.
The BMA Foundation for Medical Research is a charity that awards over £600,000 in grants for medical research each year. Today the Foundation helps to fund innovative medical research in a variety of areas from the elimination of the common cold to heart disease and cancer as well as many other research areas. The grants are awarded to medical doctors and research scientists. For many the grants are key to supporting their career development and contributing to advances in medicine and patient care.
The committee has agreed awards for charities which support doctors and medical students who need financial assistance because of COVID-19, and one that facilitates volunteer medics to offer virtual consultations to vulnerable communities who can’t access health services. The BMA is also launching a second round of grants – and is calling on those who believe they are eligible to apply.
The BMA Giving grants scheme aims to support smaller charities registered in the UK, particularly those working at grass roots and community level, and priority is given to those which align with the BMA’s mission of ‘we look after doctors so they can look after you’.
As usual, this round of grants has been focused on helping those charities who share BMA values, such as being committed to promoting the achievement of high-quality healthcare and maintaining the honour and interests of the medical profession. The difference this time is that the money has been made available for projects aimed at mitigating or tackling the challenges of COVID-19.
The award winners are:
. The Cameron Fund receives £40,000 to support its response to COVID-19. The fund provides grants to GPs and their families who are in financial hardship, often owing to a combination of life-changing events, including physical illness, mental ill-health, bereavement, and performance issues or unemployment.
. Child Bereavement UK receives £12,700 to fund a series of webinars to help doctors recognise the impact of working in the face of loss, grief and bereavement.
. Doctors of the World receives £20,000 to develop a virtual consultation service. This will enable volunteer doctors and others to continue to offer consultations, advice and prescription services to vulnerable communities unable to access health services.
. Medical Aid Films receives £20,000 to develop animated education films that health professionals and volunteers can use to communicate with hard-to-reach communities about COVID-19.
. The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund receives £25,000. It will be used to support the RMBF’s grant scheme to support doctors, medical students and their families who need financial assistance because of the impact of COVID-19.
