The Australian Medical Association is now accepting nominations for the 2018 Public Health Awards.
Last year, the AMA Excellence in Healthcare Award was presented to Dr Denis Lennox who has greatly contributed to the advancement in the training of rural GPs and specialist generalists.
The 2017 AMA Woman in Medicine Award was awarded to Dr Genevieve Goulding for her continued commitment to, and support of, her specialty of anaesthesia, peers, patients and the broader community, and her significant contribution to advocacy, workforce and medical leadership.
Nominations for The AMA Excellence in Health Care Award are open for any individual who has made a significant contribution to improving health or health care in Australia. The person may be involved in health awareness, health policy or health delivery. Any member of the community can nominate someone for this award.
The Woman in Medicine Award is only awarded to members of the AMA who have made a major contribution to the medical profession. Nominations can only be made by other AMA members.
Nominations close on Monday April 23 and the awards will be presented in May at the 2018 AMA National Conference, Canberra.
