Congratulations to superior Sale students!
John May achieved a high distinction in the John Desmond Occupational Medicine exam
Each year there is an opportunity for Year 3B students to sit the John Desmond Occupational Medicine exam. The John Desmond Prize is donated by Drs Robyn Horsley and Peter Desmond in honour of their son who died in infancy. Dr Horsley practices occupational medicine as a speciality and finds it to be a diverse area of medicine.
The objectives of the John Desmond Prize in Occupational Medicine are to:
- encourage some students to contemplate occupational medicine as a career;
- encourage most students to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitude needed to effectively practise occupational medicine as part of any general or specialist medical practice
The results this year were very pleasing with special mention made of Sale students as achieving overall ‘superior performance” in the exam. Special mention should be made of John May from Sale who achieved a high distinction.
Our congratulations go to the students and our thanks to Dr Lloyd Waters from the Clocktower Medical Centre in Sale for tutoring the students and for coordinating their on-site visit to the Esso Gas plant at Longford.
