Trainee Wellbeing Initiative Award
The Trainee Wellbeing Initiative Award was set up in 2019 to celebrate excellence in trainee led projects that have and will continue to improve the wellbeing of anaesthetic colleagues in a region or local area in Great Britain and Ireland.
The Award is open to Trainee members of the Association of Anaesthetists as individual trainees, or groups which include trainees, who have developed an initiative to improve the welfare of their anaesthetic colleagues in their region or local area, within Great Britain and/or Ireland. Applicants must demonstrate how their activity, project, campaign or other work (including original research) has had, and will continue to have a measurable beneficial effect on the wellbeing of anaesthetists. Trainee members are free to nominate colleagues or to self-nominate.
Applications should include details of any educational activities that have been carried out as part of the project, and how other key stakeholders have or will be involved to gain optimum benefit from the initiative.
Successful trainees will be invited to display their work as a physical poster at the Trainee Conference in July 2023. The winning trainee project lead will be invited to present their work during the conference. A cash prize or prizes may be awarded at the discretion of the judging panel. Selected case studies may be published on the Association website.
