Several travel grants will be awarded to assist with attendance at a future meeting relevant to cardiology or cardiac surgery.

• Best abstract oral presentation by a Nurse, Cardiac physiologist, or AHP (£250)
• Best abstract poster presentation by a Nurse, Cardiac physiologist, or AHP (£250)

Awards are subject to the applicant being a member of the SCS and submitting a report to be presented at an SCS meeting and/or publication on SCS website.

Medical Student Prize

There will be two prizes (worth £250 each) awarded for the best medical student abstract presentation (oral and poster).  These will be awarded to assist with attendance at a future meeting relevant to cardiology or cardiac surgery, a student elective, or for another educational purpose.

For all categories of prize there should be more than one submission for the prize to be awarded.  In the event of a single submission for any given category it will be for the independent judging panel to decide whether that presentation is of sufficient quality to justify the award being granted.
