Trainees Competition for the Jackson Rees Medal
There has been for many years a popular contest every February for the trainee who makes the best presentation of a research or audit project or interesting case report. Originally named the registrars prize it was recently renamed the trainees prize to recognise the changes that have occurred in training and in time for the production and award of the first Jackson Rees medal. However this is not the first time that a well respected and renowned previous member of the society has been recognised in this way; for the 10 years up to 2001 the ‘Tom Forrest’ medal was awarded.
Winners since 2001:
2001 Dr S Patel winner of last Tom Forrest medal
2002 Dr J Walker
2003 Dr D Raw
2004 Dr A Breen
2005 Dr S Gilby winner of first Jackson Rees medal

Dr Era Vermani (1st prize and Jackson Rees Medal), Dr John Chambers (president) and Dr Rajagopa Venilla (2nd prize) at the 29th February meeting.
With the medal goes a cheque and there is a second prize which is purely financial. All Mersey anaesthetic trainees are eligible to enter, with abstracts normally being required to be sent to the Hon. Secretary by early to mid January. If you are interested please email the secretary.
