Doubleday\/Manchester Award and Lecture<\/h1>\n

The Doubleday\/Manchester Award aims to promote the importance of breadth in medical training.<\/p>\n

The award is granted to an individual of standing who has made a significant contribution to patient care and who, in turn, delivers a lecture at The University of Manchester.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Julia Neuberger was the first recipient of the Doubleday\/Manchester in January 2002. She delivered a lively and thought provoking public lecture on ‘Doctors, patients, consent and understanding – is there a new compact out there?’. Her contribution has set the pattern for subsequent recipients.<\/p>\n

The Award ceremony is normally held in October each year. You can see updates on each year’s Award and Lecture on the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health News blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
