Roddie McNicol Prize Submission Details

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.

• 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.
