Prizes and Bursaries
There are several bursaries and prizes available to members of SASWR:
The SASWR Trainee Prize
This prize of £1000 is awarded annually at the November Scientific Meeting of the society. Entries of up to 2000 words maximum in the form of an essay or short paper on any topic related to anaesthesia, intensive care and pain medicine should be submitted electronically to the Honorary Secretary of the Society (honsec@saswr.org.uk) by 30th September each year.
The best three entries will be presented orally at the SASWR meeting in November, and the prize awarded at that meeting. Any entrants who do not make the shortlist will be invited to enter the poster prize at the meeting. Please note you must be registered for the meeting to present your work, and you may not enter both this and the poster prize.

The Spring and Autumn scientific meetings will have a poster prize of £250 awarded to the best poster presentation. To enter, submit your work as an abstract or poster to the Hon Secretary (honsec@saswr.org.uk) by 30th September each year. You will need to be registered for the meeting and be able to present your poster to the judges during coffee.
