BPS Honorary Fellow Professor Dame Ijeoma Uchegbu with Professor Sir Mark Caulfield
Members are at the heart of the Society and in 2024 we were delighted to announce our newest Fellows and Honorary Fellows at our Winter meeting. Our Fellows and Honorary Fellows play an incredibly important role in the Society. Through their work, they further all disciplines of pharmacology in the discovery, development and use of medicines. And through their leadership, and contribution to Society life, they inspire and support members at earlier stages of their career or study.
This year 40 Fellows were elected and 13 Honorary Fellowships awarded, reflecting the broad expertise currently advancing pharmacology across academia, clinical care and industry. As a Society we are striving to ensure our membership reflects the breadth and diversity of those working in the sector, this year our cohort was split 60/40 male/female and over 34% are international. Following the extension of our Fellowship category to include early career members in 2022, we were delighted to elected two more early career researchers to Fellowship.
Throughout 2024 we awarded numerous awards and prizes. Our prizes and awards are designed to recognise the contributions to pharmacology made by our members and increase our impact on the discipline by supporting the career progression of early career pharmacologists. Crossing a range of disciplines, career stages and celebrating team and individual efforts, this year’s winners demonstrated excellence in clinical and non-clinical pharmacology. In total we awarded £232,000 of prizes, awards, grants and bursaries to 210 recipients.
