SMALL PROJECTS PROGRAMME - The FoNS Small Projects Programme supports clinically based nurses, midwives and healthcare teams who want to develop healthcare practice to improve patient care in any healthcare setting across the UK. It is FoNS' intention to focus this programme primarily by supporting clinically based practitioners i.e. those working at the interface between healthcare practitioners and patients/service users. Grants continue to be readily available, but there are closing dates made at intervals during the year.

Potential applicants should be aware of the availability of facilitation and support from the FoNS practice development facilitators. http://www.fons.org/ahcp_funding.asp
