Applications close this week for a $3000 education scholarship for health professionals with an interest in the rural sector.

The Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) and Access Scholarship is aimed at applicants who are working in the health field with rural connections, and wish to further their studies in health or disability studies. Preference will be given to applicants who are studying at post-graduate level.

"Rural Women New Zealand advocate for equity in health services in rural communities on a par with urban areas. That includes upskilling our health professionals to offer quality information and advice to rural patients," says Wendy McGowan, RWNZ president.

"Access is proud to support ongoing professional development for health professionals working in the rural community, and we are pleased to continue to offer the scholarship alongside Rural Women New Zealand," says Simon Lipscombe, chief executive of Access.

Full information and application forms can be found at www.ruralwomen.org.nzor www.access.org.nz.
