Description
Join us for the online presentation of the Louis Barnett Prize 2024 on Thursday 19 September.

The award finalists will present their research at this standalone online event before one is chosen as the 2024 winner and awarded the $2500 prize.

Attendees will also be treated to a presentation by Professor Angus Watson, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, Clinical Professor of Surgery at Aberdeen University and Councillor of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Professor Watson volunteers his time and surgical expertise through UK-Med to help communities in conflict zones around the world, most recently in Ukraine and Gaza where he says providing psychological support is as much part of the job as medical support.

The Louis Barnett Prize commemorates Sir Louis Barnett CMG, a pioneering surgical researcher, a founder of RACS and the first surgeon from Aotearoa New Zealand to become president of the College. The prize was established in 1962 by the then New Zealand Committee (now the Aotearoa New Zealand National Committee) and is open to Trainees and Younger Fellows from Aotearoa New Zealand involved in advanced academic research.

We hope you can join us for a night celebrating surgical academic research excellence in Aotearoa New Zealand.
