This scholarship fund is in recognition of the lifelong contribution of a truly impsitational health librarian, Leslie Morton.

The aim of the fund is to support the professional development of librarians working in the health sector by providing bursaries towards the cost of professional development activity. Applications will be welcomed from librarians working in the UK and North America, and international exchanges will be particularly encouraged.
