Following the sad death of John Calder a Memorial award has been set up jointly between BAPRAS and the Blonde McIndoe Centre, East Grinstead.  The award is given to the best basic science paper presented by a trainee at the Summer Meeting of the Association annually.  The prize consists of a medal and a cheque for £500.00.
