Here at the British Hyperbaric Association, there is an annual Joseph Priestley Essay Prize competition. This is a great way to research an area of diving or hyperbaric oxygen therapy that you’re particularly interested in.
The essay should be 1600-2000 words and may incorporate historical, practical, clinical facets, or reflect on matters of a social, political, commercial or technological nature related to diving or hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
The winner will be awarded the Joseph Priestley Essay Award, with a £1000 cash prize. The essay will also be published in the year end issue of the Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal.
All GMC registered doctors are eligible, including those with provisional registration. This year’s competition closes on 1 October 2023, with the winner announced on 1 November 2023.
