Featherstone Professorship
The Association of Anaesthetists Featherstone Professorship is awarded to practising anaesthetists, clinicians and scientists who have made a substantial contribution to anaesthesia and its related subspecialties.
The Professorship aims to encourage those in the early stages of developing their career. The purpose of the award is to recognise the work of recipients and facilitate their progress in the academic world. Those who show equivalent excellence in teaching and education will also be eligible.
Applicants must demonstrate that they are performing at a high level and provide details of their contribution in one or more field such as safety, education, research, innovation, international development and leadership.
Featherstone Professorships are held for two years, during which the holder will be required to deliver a Featherstone Oration at a major Association meeting. Successful recipients will receive the Featherstone Professorship certificate and will be entitled to use the title Featherstone Professor for the two years of their appointment.
