The MACP supports, promotes and develops members through education and research activities. The total amount of funding committed to this activity has been increased from an annual £19k to £31k. These awards are split between continuing professional development and research activities.
We strongly encourage all MACP members to apply for these awards. In a typical year 75% of applicants are successful in their application being awarded funding and some awards do not always receive an application on every round.
