At BSH we are keen to recognise those who go above and beyond and excel in their chosen area of haematology and have put together an exciting prizes and awards scheme that seeks to celebrate the success of both members and non-members.
It is important that everyone, from students to senior haematology professionals, can showcase and gain recognition for their work.
To receive notifications when awards are updated or announced, sign up for our Grants & Awards Newsletter on your My BSH page.
The Crucible Prize
The BSH Crucible Prize is an innovative trainee-led initiative with a £1000 prize, where the five top abstracts are selected for oral presentation at our Annual Scientific Meeting. The aim of this session is to encourage reflection on what haematologists do, and why they do it. Those selected are questioned and judged by a panel of senior haematologists on the quality and originality of their content, presentation skills and response to questions. This prize is open to doctors in training, nurses and other healthcare professionals (at any stage of their career).
The title for the 2020 Crucible Prize is 'What lessons can haematology learn from others?'
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words to crucible@b-s-h.org.uk.
The deadline for submissions is 5.00pm on Friday 6 December 2019.
Student Essay Prize
The BSH Essay Prize is awarded annually to undergraduate medical and BMS students from UK schools in any year of training.
In 2018 the essay title was 'Patients are accessing their results and records. What are the implications for haematologists?'.
There will be a prize of £500 for the winner and £250 for the runner-up.
Details of the next Essay Prize competition will be announced in January 2020.
NIHR-BSH Researcher of the Year Award
The NIHR-BSH Researcher of the Year award is a joint initiative between BSH and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to recognise recent contributions to clinical research efforts made by members of the BSH. The award is presented at the BSH Annual Scientific Meeting.
