The Yogi Memorial Prize
Wednesday 9th April 2025
The Yogi Memorial Prize is open to all who work in child health in our region (apart from Consultants), e.g. nurses, NMAHPs, pharmacists, resident doctors, practitioners, students, ancillary staff, etc.
Abstracts are invited that report the findings of any audit, quality improvement or research project that are of relevance to child health. The overarching ethos is to stimulate discussion of important topics and to support less experienced entrants in presenting their work. The Yogi Memorial Prize is unique in this and if submitted sufficiently in advance of the deadline then applicants will be supported by the organising committee in constructively developing their abstracts in advance of final submission.
A team of judges will then independently and anonymously score abstracts with the highest scoring finalists selected for oral presentation at The Yogi Memorial Prize event in April 2025.
The winner will receive a cash prize and shield.
Please see attached abstract rules and poster for further information.
If there are any questions please contact: nuth.cher-2@nhs.net
