In 1985 the society was bequeathed a trust fund from the estate of Mrs. M J Guthrie in the name of her husband, Douglas J Guthrie, who was himself an ENT surgeon in Scotland. Through their generosity, funding is available to support educational projects. Applications are considered by the society council at their meetings held twice a year.

We are now welcoming applications for Guthrie funding at the winter meeting being held at the Stirling Court Hotel, Stirling University, FK9 4LA on Friday 21st November 2025.  These should be submitted by Friday 31st October.
