One of the highlights of being President of the Society is being able to celebrate the achievements of our members by announcing the recipients of our prizes and awards. Each prize and award, in its particular way, is designed to encourage, reward and raise the profile of a part of our vibrant community.
Last month our Membership & Awards Committee reviewed our 2018 nominations and applications, and I am now pleased to announce the first batch of winners. They span the whole spectrum of pharmacology and I hope you will join me in congratulating them all.
