Nominations are now being accepted for the Royal College of General
Practitioners (RCGP) Research Paper of the Year Award 2007.
Sponsored by Merck, Sharp & Dohme, the

care.
Judges will consider research papers from the
UK and Republic of Ireland that have been published in a peer
reviewed journal during 2007, demonstrate high quality research and
contribute to the standing of general practice and primary care
within the academic medical community.
The winning author will receive a cheque for

Dinner and Award ceremony on Wednesday 11 June 2008.
Professor Nigel Mathers, Chair of the RCGP
Clinical Innovation & Research Centre (CIRC), says: “The RCGP

high-quality research that is currently being undertaken within
