Hilda Winifred Mears Award

Applications are invited for 2011.  Please use the application form below.

Hilda Winifred Mears was a former member of AfPP, who held a significant number of perioperative posts both within the UK and abroad.  Hilda died in 2008 and has left a legacy to AfPP which will be used to fund the Hilda Winifred Mears award.

The purpose of this award is to assist AfPP members to share their knowledge and skills with other volunteer organisations who facilitate direct patient care to patients overseas in areas where access to free quality healthcare is not available. 

The award will be given to two perioperative practitioners per year, each receiving £1,000 to assist them in undertaking their volunteer role.  In addition, the organisation/s offering placements to the award winners, will  each receive  corporate membership of AfPP for one year together with £100 worth of AfPP publications of their choice. 

The award winners will be expected to undertake their placement within 18 months of the award being ranted and funds will be released once a letter confirming their placement has been received.
