March 2020

Dear Community Members and Friends,

During the Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent pandemic, it has been acts of human kindness, endeavour and courage that have kept so many of us safe and strong. While many may be praised for their actions during this time, none so much as the brave and selfless medical workers who have both travelled to Hubei and worked in isolation wards on hospitals around the country.

With this in mind we would like to share with you our BMH 2020 Bursary for Children of Medical Workers and related policy. If you have family, friends or neighbours who you believe to be eligible for this, please do feel free to share this information with them for their application.

• 100% tuition fee funded by BMH for applicants joining BMH in 2020
