Lottie Cansdale wins Peter Tizard Prize for Paediatrics
23rd January 2023
Congratulations to Lottie Cansdale (Clinical Medicine), who has been awarded the Peter Tizard Prize for Paediatrics for 2021-22.
The prize is awarded each academic year. The three to four students with the combined highest scores in the paediatric components of the end of year 5/GE year 3 exam are invited to give a presentation to two examiners. The most outstanding student is then awarded the prize.
Sir Peter Tizard was a prominent British paediatrician and the first Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford. He was a founding member of the Neonatal Society, established in 1959.
"It was a real honour to receive the prize. I’m really passionate about children's health and so to win a prize named after Sir Peter Tizard, who did so much for paediatrics in Oxford, is a real privilege. I’m looking forward to starting work as a foundation doctor post-graduation, after six years of study, though I have to wait a little longer to find out where that will be!"
