Founded by a bequest from Lady Estelle Wolfson to endow an annual lecture on translational medicine, this talk makes up part of our endowed lectures series.
The appointment of the lecture is by application, and applications should present an outstanding, recent contribution in translational research/medicine with demonstrable benefit to patients. This contribution can be in any branch of medicine.
The appointed lecturer will receive an honorarium of £200.
Any member or fellow of the RCP may apply. Only personal applications (not nominations) will be accepted.
