Yvonne Carter Award
The annual Yvonne Carter Award for Outstanding New Researcher is presented jointly by the RCGP and the Society for Academic Primary Care to recognise the contributions of earlier career researchers in advancing the discipline of academic primary care through research.
A prize of £1,000 is intended to give the winner the opportunity to develop international networks. This year’s winner is Dr Kamal Mahtani, an academic GP who impressed the judges with his leadership and his plans to use the award to support development of an international network of primary care academics.
