The Trust has developed a disbursement programme to allocate funding to specific programmes and general grants.

This funding places emphasis on continuing staff education, but also equipment to improve efficiency and health outcomes.

Funding comes from the Trust’s investments and supports the hospital in areas where there is no government funding allocated.

The disbursement programme is as follows:

• Annual Junior Medical Trust Prize
  
• Annual Nursing Scholarships
  
• Annual Visitor – Medical
  
• Annual Nursing Research Trust Prize
  
• Annual Travelling Nursing Scholarship
  
• Annual Travelling Medical Fellowship
  
• General Grants
