Judges Lynn Faulds Wood and June Walton
Our esteemed panel of judges has deliberated, debated and finally decided the winners of the 2016 MJA Awards — and all will be revealed on June 23 at the Barber-Surgeon’s Hall in the City of London.
BBC journalist Nicholas Owen is our master of ceremonies and music will be provided by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
The winner of our headline award for Outstanding Contribution to Medical Journalism, which is sponsored by the NHS Confederation, is on one of these shortlists.
If you are a member and planning to attend, please RSVP via the form at the end of this post. Doors open at 6.30 for a 7pm start to the presentations, which will be followed by supper and drinks.
