Helen Tennant Award

This prize is awarded by the Board of Examiners of Aston University on behalf of the College of Mental Health Pharmacy in memory of Helen Tennant, a keen and active member of the Group, who was in the first cohort of mental health pharmacists to gain the Diploma in Psychiatric Pharmacy from Aston University in 2001.

It is awarded each year to the student with the best overall performance in the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychiatric Pharmacy at Aston University.

Winner - Yasmin Majeed
Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust

Celia Feetam Memorial Award

Aston University created this award in 2018 to recognise the student with the best overall performance in the postgraduate Certificate in Psychiatric Therapeutics each year. The Celia Feetam Award was named in recognition of the extensive and valued contribution made by Celia to the higher education of so many specialist pharmacists.

Since Celia sadly passed away in 2021, and in her memory the College of Mental Health Pharmacy and Aston have agreed that this award will be adopted from 2022 onwards by CMHP. It will be called the Celia Feetam Memorial Award and will be awarded by CMHP to the highest performing certificate student each year.

Winner - Sarah Pilgrim
Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust

The awards were presented by CMHP President Roz Gittins. She said:

“The oral and poster presentations demonstrated that the show goes on – so many pharmacy colleagues somehow managed to continue to progress mental health pharmacy research in spite of the pandemic. Huge congratulations to everyone who presented regardless of whether they were successful in receiving an award.”
