John Fry at Guy's Scholarship
The John Fry at Guy's Scholarship is worth £1,000 and has been established to help full-time, home fee status, undergraduate medical students, in any year of study, who have an interest in general practice / primary care and are experiencing financial hardship.
What is the John Fry at Guy's Scholarship?
Established in 2011, the John Fry Scholarship commemorates the work of Dr John Fry (1922-1994) who trained at Guy's Hospital medical school and pioneered evidence based research in General Practice and Primary Care. Dr Fry was a founding member of the College of General Practitioners (later the Royal College of General Practitioners) in 1953. He made a major contribution to the College's development, serving for 34 years on the College Council, and as a member of numerous College committees and working parties.
In addition to his commitment to his practice and the College, Fry was a consultant to the World Health Organisation, 1965-83, and consultant in general practice to the Army, 1968-87. He is remembered for his transformative work in the field of General Practice and we are delighted to launch this Scholarship in his honour.
This funding is aimed at relieving hardship for students with an interest in general practice.
There is one scholarship worth £1,000 available.
