BMA Foundation Awards Ceremony 2023

Celebrating the BMA Foundation’s continued support for medical research

The BMA Foundation has been supporting medical research since 1839 through awarding grants and prizes that encourage medical research. To celebrate this, each year we host an awards ceremony for the annual grant winners, as well as inviting back some of our past winners to talk about the impact BMA Foundation grants have had on their career and research field. This is an excellent chance to celebrate the success of the grant winners, and the BMA Foundation’s continued support for medical research of the highest quality.

The 2024 awards ceremony took place on 29 October at BMA House and was Black and White themed. The event was attended by over 100 guests, including potential donors, philanthropists, key members of the medical research community and charity sector leaders. An after dinner speech was delivered by Professor Dame Averil Mansfield, the UK's first female professor of surgery .
