Student Commendations | December 2019

Published on

Congratulations to our eight student doctors closing out 2019 with hard-earned commendations!

We want to recognise and celebrate our student doctors, on clinical placements and within the School of Medicine. We often hear about excellence, and commendation forms are the formal system to record these instances, and just as importantly, to provide positive feedback to hard working individuals and organisations.

Celebrating this month

Commendations at the Liverpool School of Medicine

If you know an exceptional fellow student, a teacher, team or member of staff – why not get their 2020 off to a flying start by nominating them for a commendation for January? You never know, you might make someone’s day.

Everyone associated with the medical programme has the opportunity to celebrate instances where they feel that a person, team or organisation has been outstanding, gone beyond expectations or made a difference. Let the School know by submitting a commendation form!

Forms are available on VITAL, and all completed forms should be sent to: wellbeing.mbchb@liverpool.ac.uk.

The commendation form can be used in any setting including clinical skills, research, helping others, dealing with unexpected events, leadership, or teaching. You can nominate your peers on the MBChB programme, or a team, a teacher – this list is not exhaustive!

View your course handbook (also available on VITAL) for full details on how to nominate.
