2009
£1500
Mandeville Medicines in association with the Neonatal and Paediatric
Pharmacists Group (NPPG) invites pharmacists or technicians to apply
for this prize that is now in its ninth year.
The ManMed/ NPPG prize is an incentive designed to encourage
pharmacists to share the findings of their work.
The prize, valued at £1500, is made available annually for a piece of
work, which in the opinion of the judges, has shown to have made the
best contribution to improving the care of neonatal or paediatric patients.
If you have published a paper in the last 12 months or have had a paper
accepted for publication either as sole author or with your colleagues then
you could be eligible for the NPPG/ ManMed Prize.
We wish to reward pharmacists and/or technicians who have made a
difference to the clinical outcome for paediatric patients and have
published their findings to inform others. The subject area must be
relevant to the care of neonates, infants and children and may be work
that has been undertaken as part of a multidisciplinary team. We will
expect you to demonstrate that you have made a significant contribution
to the published work and to tell us how you will use the prize of £1500.
It is hoped that the prize will further help you to disseminate the findings
of your work more widely, find attendance at symposia or assist you to
plan new research.
Entries submitted for the prize should not be submitted for any other
award until after the adjudication has taken place
