Nick Hall Memorial Travel Bursary
Dr Nicholas Hall was a distinguished academic reader and a highly supportive Director of studies at the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology of the University of Bath who retired in 2013. He was also a dedicated mentor for early career researchers and junior academic lecturers for whom he provided many opportunities for research within the field of rheumatic disease as the Chair of the Bath Institute for Rheumatic Diseases (BIRD), which he co-founded in 1975 as part of the University of Bath with the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases. Dr Nick Hall helped initiate and support BIRD’s role as the partner to Skin@Bath from its conception in 2017.
