John Anderson Award

John Anderson was an inspirational man.  This award was instigated by John’s family and seeks to recognize an individual who has contributed to urology in an outstanding or inspirational way. 

Nominations should be for a BAUS Member in good standing and can be for an outstanding Trainee, Consultant or Associate Urological Specialist (AUS). Exemplary achievement needs to be demonstrated by inspirational activity in teaching, training, service development, service delivery or personal endeavour. 

Nominations should be in the form of a citation of up to 500 words, clearly stating how, and how widely, the nominee has inspired others in the urological community.
