Support for doctors

BMA Charities can offer doctors who are living in the UK:

  • one-off grants to unemployed doctors who have worked in the NHS for essential items such as utility bills, travel and disability equipment
  • one-off grants to working doctors in financial hardship for help with the GMC annual fee and professional indemnity insurance
  • grants to refugee and asylum-seeking doctors to meet the costs of taking the PLAB exams and GMC registration
  • money advice for any doctor who is having difficulty managing financially

The Dain Fund assists with the education and support of the children of medical practitioners who are in financial difficultly. Grants are made for items such as school clothing, school trips, essential IT equipment, disability equipment and, occasionally, short-term school fees. The Fund is unable to help with childcare costs for working doctors.

 

We regret that we are unable to support anyone who lives outside the UK or who does not have the right to stay in the UK under the UK immigration rules.  In addition, we cannot help with the costs of postgraduate training, private medicine, legal advice, visa fees, research projects or conference attendance.
