Syd Yarrow Award
Sponsored by LivaNova
Founded in 1993, this award was named to recognise the outstanding contribution of Syd Yarrow to the perfusion profession over his long career. It is awarded to a student member of the Society who has made the best presentation at its Annual Scientific Meeting. The purpose is to encourage high standards of professional activity and educational development in perfusion students.
The award takes the form of a grant of funds to assist in costs associated with the recipient visiting cardiac centres in Australasia or overseas to further perfusion education.
