2016 was another great year for our Medical Student essay Competition. We had 25 entries this year there which were all of a very good standard and competition was fierce, 6 entries were short listed and after considerable deliberation by the judges the winner was announced as Alastair Macfarlane from Kings College London.

Alastair was presented with the winning prize of £500 by Dr John Wiles a Consultant in pain at the Walton Centre, Liverpool and Chairman of the Pain Relief Foundation Education Committee.
