Featherstone Professorship

The Association of Anaesthetists Featherstone Professorship is awarded to practising anaesthetists, clinicians and scientists who have made a substantial contribution to anaesthesia and its related subspecialties.

The Professorship aims to encourage those in the early stages of developing their career. The purpose of the award is to recognise the work of recipients and facilitate their progress in the academic world. Those who show equivalent excellence in teaching and education will also be eligible.

Successful recipients will receive the Featherstone Professorship certificate and will be entitled to use the title Featherstone Professor for the two years of their appointment.
