The BSH Crucible Prize is an innovative trainee-led initiative with a 拢1,000 prize, where the five top abstracts听are selected听for oral presentation at our Annual Scientific Meeting.

The Prize听aims to encourage听reflection on what haematologists do and why they do it.

Those听selected are questioned and judged by a panel of senior haematologists on the quality and originality of their content, presentation skills and response to questions.

The Prize is open to doctors in training, nurses and听other healthcare professionals (at any stage of their career).
