Roddie McNicol Prize 2024
In memory of Dr Roddie McNicol the APA is pleased to announce the 2024 Roddie McNicol prize for Regional Analgesia in children.
This award of £500 for a submission on regional analgesia in children is open to trainees or consultants within 5 years of appointment in May 2024. They should be the first author of the paper.
The submission should be formed of a complete paper and an abstract based on either:
- An article published in a Peer Reviewed journal published during the last calendar year or
- An original review or research paper yet to be submitted to a Peer Reviewed journal.
The submission will be 4,000 words or less.
This prize will not necessarily be awarded every year but only if a submission of sufficient quality is received, as judged by a panel convened by the Scientific Committee of the APAGBI.
The prize winner will be expected to make a 15-minute presentation on the topic to the APA Annual Scientific Meeting in Newcastle in May 2024.
The closing date for submission will be March 1st 2024.
