Eligibility criteria and how to apply
Nominations are now closed. Please check back in autumn 2024 for the 2025 round.
This prize is open to Foundation Year 1 and FY2 doctors in the UK.
We will send an invitation to each deanery and foundation school to nominate and select their most outstanding foundation doctor with a keen interest in paediatrics.
The Foundation Doctor will need to submit a 500-word max personal statement to the Head of Paediatrics in their foundation school / deanery. The personal statement should also explain the reason why they are applying for this award, providing evidence of their passion towards the paediatric specialty. Once the foundation school / deanery has selected their choice, the winning entries will be submitted to the RCPCH and the RCPCH will contact them. There are three winners per deanery (although bigger deaneries submit more than three) who will be invited to attend one day of the RCPCH Conference completely free of charge.
