15 Jan 24. Carmel Moran wins Spiers' Award for Outreach

Professor Carmel Moran, an IPEM Fellow has been awarded an outreach prize for her work to help educate schoolchildren about medical physics.

CVS's Carmel Moran has won the 2023 Spiers' Award for Outreach, given by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM),  and will receive it at an awards ceremony later this year.

Carmel wins the award for her outstanding work on Imaging Inside Out: a schools engagement programme she developed to give secondary-school pupils an opportunity to learn more about the use of ultrasound in medicine, to try their hand at ultrasound scanning, and to discuss their views on the use of animals in research. The project received a £30,000 ScotPEN Wellcome Engagement Award in 2020.

Congratulations, Carmel!
