Moynihan
Prize
This is the Association’s most prestigious
scientific award. The award consists of £1,000
together with a medal and is presented to the author
of the best research work delivered at the Annual
Scientific Meeting. The person reading the paper must
be the principal research worker and have been qualified
for less than fifteen years. In the case of multiple-author
papers, the Medal will be presented to the person
reading the paper and the award may be divided between
authors. The paper should have a scientific basis
and clinical application; case reports and audit reports
should not be submitted. The paper must not have been
submitted previously to any other national or international
association nor published in any Journal at the time
of submission. Shortlisted papers which are found
to have been presented elsewhere, or have been accepted
for presentation elsewhere, will be disqualified.
If selected, competitors will be
required to submit a manuscript suitable for publication.
The Moynihan Prize paper shall become the property
of the Association and will normally be published
in the Association of Surgeons’ issue of the
British Journal of Surgery.
Papers submitted for the Moynihan
Prize and not shortlisted will be considered for the
Short Paper section of the Meeting.
John Farndon prize for best manuscript
The British Journal of Surgery has
endowed a prize of £500 for the best manuscript
to be offered to the Journal after the work has been
accepted in abstract form for the meeting. Other papers
may be published but their inclusion in the Journal
is subject to the usual system of editorial review.
Manuscripts should be sent direct
to the British Journal of Surgery, John Wiley &
Sons Ltd., The Atrium, Southern Gate, Chichester,
West Sussex, PO19 8SQ, marked for the attention of
Mr John Murie, Editor-in-Chief.
David Dunn Medal
The David Dunn Medal, together
with the British Journal of Surgery Prize of £500,
will be awarded to the presenter of the best paper
at the Association of Endoscopic Surgeons of Great
Britain and Ireland (AESGBI) meeting on the morning
of Friday 15th April 2005. The medal is in memory
of David Dunn, an eminent endoscopic surgeon, founder
member and a previous officer of AESGBI.
Short Papers
There will be several sessions for
short papers, and any Fellow or Affiliate Fellow wishing
to submit or sponsor a paper for this part of the
programme is asked to access the iFormix
website by midnight on Friday
12th November 2004.
Abstracts should not have been
presented elsewhere at the time of submission. Please
note that all accepted abstracts, whether for oral
presentation or a poster, will be published in the
British Journal of Surgery supplement.
Failure to present such an abstract,
unless it is formally withdrawn at the time that acceptance
is notified, will be taken seriously. The names of
the authors will be published in the next edition
of the Association’s Executive Newsletter.
There will be six Short Paper Prizes,
and the winner in each category will receive a cheque
for £150. Adjudication will take place in each
of the specialty “Six of the Best” short paper sessions.
Judging will be undertaken by the joint Chairmen of
the six of the best sessions, and the winners will
be announced, by the Chairmen, at the end of each
session.
