Description

The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund is the UK's leading charity helping doctors, medical students and their families at times of crisis.
The RMBF is looking to commission a high quality medical academic research project to identify the extent of unmet need in medical practitioners, medical students and families who are in financial difficulty as a result of ill health, disability or bereavement.
We would expect the research to cover a diverse population of the profession sampling our target beneficiaries across multiple areas including age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, specialty, time from qualification and grades.
We would also expect applicants and beneficiaries of the charity to be interviewed by agreement as part of the research.
In addition to identifying the extent of unmet need, we would expect the researchers to identify organisational strategies for the RMBF to help us reach those potential beneficiaries who are not engaging with the charity and at the earliest opportunity.
