The Chris Church Medal Annual Undergraduate Prize Essay Competition
22 December 2021
This prize is open to any medical student from one of the medical schools in Yorkshire. The winner will be awarded a solid silver engraved medal, and required to deliver a short presentation to a YSA meeting.
The medal is awarded annually in honour of the late Dr Chris Church, a consultant anaesthetist at Bradford Royal Infirmary whose enthusiasm for undergraduate involvement in anaesthetics was legendary. On his death Dr Church’s family established this award for the YSA.
The essay should be a maximum of 1500 words and 10 references, and based around an interesting case you have seen during an anaesthetic or intensive care placement. The essay will be marked by members of the YSA Committee based on the case report, the clinical implications and learning points of the case, how well the case has been researched and the overall presentation of the essay.
Essays should be submitted from your university email account to the YSA Honorary Secretary, Dr Andy Lumb at andrew.lumb@nhs.net before 31st August 2022.
