ALAN HILTON MEDAL
CLOSING DATE : MONDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2011
The annual award of the Alan Hilton Medal was initiated in 1986 by the Section of Odontology to commemorate the late Alan Hilton who was a member of the Section for thirty-four years, becoming President of the Section in 1959 and President of the Manchester Medical Society in 1968.  The medal is a prestigious award and the names of the winners are inscribed on a board at the Turner Dental School.
The medal is awarded to the author of the best paper presented at the Members' Evening of the Section in January of each year.  This evening is traditionally an opportunity for younger members of the Section to gain experience in the presentation of papers.  Papers on dental research subjects are invited from general dental practitioners, community dentists and hospital and university dentists, up to and including the level of specialist registrar grade.  The successful applicants will be required to make a short presentation (no longer than 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions and discussion) on the evening MONDAY 30TH JANUARY 2012.  
If you wish to compete for the Alan Hilton Medal send a summary (not more than 300 words) of your paper to the Administrator.  Applicants must be members of the Section of Odontology.  For  further information please click here.
