Bridget Claire McCartan Scholarship 2025 – Round 2 ANZBA Nursing Seminar
The Bridget Claire McCartan Scholarship was established in memory of Bridget, a nurse on Newland Ward at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
Bridget had a special interest in burns nursing, so her family established a scholarship in her name to enable nurses with a similar interest to attend the Australian and New Zealand Burns Association (ANZBA) seminars and conferences.
There are two scholarships valued at up to $950 each available to support nurses to attend the ANZBA Annual Scientific Meeting in Adelaide from October 14 to 17.
