Buchanan Medal

The Buchanan Medal is an award of the Royal Society prize, which is awarded for outstanding scientific contributions to the entire field of medicine since 1897. For many years, the prize was awarded in a five -year cycle, and since 1990 it will be awarded every two years - first in even-numbered years, beginning in 2011 in odd years. The award is named after George Buchanan (1831-1895), a Londonor doctor and pioneer of hygiene.

The prize committee considered possible Researchers who are their careers at the beginning or in the middle. Prerequisite for the winner is a citizen - or at least three years of permanent residence - in a country of the Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland.

The award consists of a silver medal and a cash prize of 1,000 British pounds.
