Evelyn baker Medal

The Evelyn Baker Medal was instituted in 1998 for outstanding clinical competence, recognising the ‘unsung heroes' of clinical anaesthesia and related practice.   The defining characteristics of clinical competence are deemed to be technical proficiency, consistently reliable clinical judgement and wisdom, and skill in communicating with patients, their relatives and colleagues.   The ability to train and enthuse junior colleagues is seen as an integral part of communication skill, extending beyond formal teaching or academic presentation.

The award is open to all practising anaesthetists who are members of the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. Previous nomination does not preclude further nomination in future.
