The Maitland Fellowship
An objective of the MACP is to encourage and facilitate the development and maintenance of excellent contemporary clinical knowledge and skills in its members. In line with this objective, an award of up to £2,000 was created to support members' clinical development and provide additional training by funding/part-funding a member to visit a clinic/centre of excellence (in the UK or abroad).
Geoffrey Maitland’s clinical expertise and enthusiasm has been a source of inspiration to countless clinicians over the years, and this award is a fitting tribute to his many achievements. This award aims to enhance the development of advanced clinical skills in member(s).
