Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award

Recognising, celebrating and inspiring great teaching in endocrinology.

Apply for some well-deserved recognition in endocrine-related teaching. This could be for a simple but innovative project, exceptional engagement or a lifetime of sharing your passion.

We are particularly interested in achievements that:

positively affect students’ learning experiences
could be easily adopted by members of our Society and/or other teaching professionals
could attract students into endocrinology

Congratulations to our 2025 Winner, Dr Paul Alexander Foster.
