Get Involved: Social Care Professionals wanting to Improve the Quality of Care
- 20 Sep
The NICE Fellows and Scholars programme recognises the achievement and promise of health and social care professionals who are working to improve the quality of care in their local area.
Appointed annually, our Fellows and Scholars benefit from professional development opportunities and get to meet and work with likeminded colleagues from different disciplines across the UK. The programme fosters a growing network of professionals linked to NICE who are united by the common goal of ensuring that high quality, clinically and cost effective care is commissioned and provided across the health and social care system.
Recruitment for the next intake of Fellows and Scholars in 2013 is now underway. The deadline for applications is 5pm on 9 November 2012.
