GP Registrars receive awards for audit work
Eleven GP Registrars are to receive awards, sponsored by Roche
Products, for audit work undertaken during their vocational
training at an awards evening at the Royal College of General
Practitioners on 12 December 2005.
The awards are in two different categories: top winners who
win £1,000 each and a bound copy of their winning application, and
others who will receive £400.
This year’s top awards are being presented to Dr Tahir
Mohammed, for his work on patients with impaired fasting glycaemia;
Dr Kiran Raza for her work on discussing immunisation in patients
with absent or dysfunctional spleen; and Dr Saw Ye Tun Aung for his
work on monitoring plasma glucose and HbA1C in patients on
olanzapine.
Other winners include Dr Shah Ali for his work on controlled
drug registers and Dr Mark Taubert for his work on communication
with patients terminally ill with cancer. (Full details are
given in Notes to Editors).
The awards are presented each year to encourage GP Registrars
to undertake original audit work during their vocational training
and to plan, execute and present the results of that work in a
scientific manner.
Dr Roger Neighbour, President of the Royal College of General
Practitioners and host of the awards evening, said: “As Registrars’
time in practice gets ever more pressurised, it’s important for
them to stay curious and critical about their clinical performance.
These awards encourage them to get into the audit habit at the
start of their careers. By their generous sponsorship, Roche
are helping to improve patient care in a wide range of
contexts.”
