POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS
A NUMBER OF SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES ARE AVAILABLE

The School of Nursing and Midwifery is pleased to be able to offer a number of scholarship awards for students to undertake postgraduate programmes.

The Professor Jean Orr Scholarship

Prof Jean Orr was the founder of the School of Nursing & Midwifery at Queen's. We are delighted to partner with the Queen's Annual Fund, the Dept of Health and the 5 Trusts to offer this scholarship.

Recent years have been a difficult time for nurses and midwives, and this scholarship is intended to recognise that. It has been well documented that an educated nursing & midwifery workforce is a key determinant of reducing mortality and enhancing patient safety. Nurses have a key role in patient care, and their presence at high levels of decision making is essential to ensure that our healthcare services are efficient, effective and safe. Nurses and midwives have given so much of themselves during the pandemic, caring for people in an almost impossible situation, and now it is time to give back. Jean Orr was a pioneer in her profession, and a great advocate for nurse education. In her honour, then, it is time to introduce support for the nurses and midwives of the region to progress, developing skills, leadership and professionalism throughout Northern Ireland. Note: this is subject to final confirmation
