I tried saying that sentance aloud. Not possible. Emperor penguin might manage it, but they can hold their breath for 20 minutes. Said so in Metro, must be true...

M

so how can even i find it myself if u know just plz help me :((((

Clarify your request. You're looking for a scholarship to pay fees and living expenses, presumably at a paediatric hospital? What are your ambitions - are you medically qualified and wishing to practice?
I don't know about non-UK resident grants/scholarships but I would suggest speak to the Egyptian government (if you are an Egyptian national). As to practicing, you would have to pass UK statutory registration before even attemptng it and I wouldn't recommend that time consumption cutting into a PhD!

I got great ambition to expand my clinical experience and practice but after i got my master degree here in Egypt i got no chances to achieve more wish to get a scholarship abroad with the way to facilitate my expenses through working in the hospital that may offer me a scholarship in paediatrics i asked so many people but none help me ,plz if u can help me really contact me on me mail or msn "[email protected]".
yes am egyptian..how can u help me plz& how can i pass UK statutory registration ..am trying registering my PHD here in Egypt but am not convinced with the level of education here plz answer me urgently.

UK registration: Best bet is to concact the General Medical Council (GMC) to discuss registration options, requirements, etc. It used to be that had to pass an English language competence but I don't know if this still applies. Other than that, they will evaluate your professional qualifications, skills, etc.
I know of no PhDs in paediatrics but search the database on this site to see what grabs your fancy. What I will say is I strongly recommend you DO NOT attempt medical practice while doing a PhD; the time constraints are not conducive to doing either well and may hinder you in the long term.

Grants - sorry, that one you're on your own with; I only know organisations for UK nationals. Try the Egyptian government, perhaps they organise overseas scholarships?
Have you considered locum in paediatrics to gain experience; again the GMC will advise you. I would suggest that before you send them an email though, add the full stops to the end of your sentences, they get cranky about that!

M

The Egyptian government,organise overseas scholarships but none of the public reach it ,it's only for recommended people :( that's Egypt here "ALL DULL"with " no chances"
So Plz can u help me know what's the "locum in paediatrics "; and how can i contact the GMC?,there mail,site??.

Took me 10 seconds on Google, and I know nothing about the medical world. Do some research on this YOUSELF mahi108.

M

i got it from google of course ,am not that lazy as u think but am frusturated from the closed doors every here &there .i got the site but can't reach my goal there :(

H

Locum work means you work as temporary staff; you're not on the permanent rota. Although you have little flexibility workwise (no paid holiday) you can move about at any point to virtually anywhere. Ask the GMC about it.
Good luck and don't let the frustration get you down - you should see administration systems here!

M

how can i reach the administration systems ?i know i'veannoyed ubut wish yr patience

H

Send 'em an email!

I don't know what qualifies as "postgraduate level" in Egypt, but in the UK it doesnt mean "get someone else to do all your research for you".
