Full Text: The chair and trustees of the CPHVA Education and Development Trust are inviting Unite/CPHVA members to propose ideas for a new annual award. Please let us know your ideas including the proposed category and its purpose. The new award will be launched at the annual professional conference in 2011.

Please note that the trust will not support requests for fees toward courses, attendance to conferences, study tours or exchange visits. Currently, the trust has three annual awards. These are:

* MacQueen Award for excellence in practice, research, leadership or education, worth 3000 [pounds sterling]

* Travel Bursary for Public Health activities abroad, worth a maximum of 1000 [pounds sterling]

* The best research and practice posters displayed at the annual professional conference, each worth 100 [pounds sterling].

If you have ideas for the creation of a new award, we would like to hear from you.

There is a 50 [pounds sterling] prize for the member whose suggestion is adopted by the trust.

Send your ideas by 30 April to trustee Vina Mayor on email: mayorv@yahoo.co.uk with your name, job title, professional group, Unite/CPHVA membership number and contact details.
