In association with the Royal College of Radiologists and the College of Radiographers, the trustees of Symposium Mammographicum are pleased to announce that they are offering to a limited number of radiologists and radiographers or other members of the diagnostic team an annual award of up to a maximum of £5,000 each to take up an appointment at a recognised centre in either the UK or overseas to undertake research and learn the latest techniques in mammographic practice. 

The awards are designed to contribute towards training fees, the cost of travel, accommodation and subsistence as well as attendance at the subsequent Symposium Mammographicum conference where successful applicants will be required to present a report on the results of their research. Applicants will be expected to make their own arrangements and Heads of Departments will be expected to provide their own cover in the absence of the applicant.
