Events at the Hall The year started with the usual range of Livery dinners but since the pandemic lockdown, no social functions have been possible at the Hall. With the slight easing of restrictions in the summer we hoped that we might start to reopen to events, but with the subsequent tightening of the guidelines (the “rule of six”) this has now been ruled out for the foreseeable future. A number of events have been run online, and at outdoor locations. For the most up-to-date guidance on what is available, keep an eye on the emailed Newsletter, and the regularly updated Events Programme on the Society’s website. The Galen, Farr, Apothecaries’ Prize and Surgeon General’s Medals At a videoconferenced seminar held on 13 July 2020, the Master presented the Society’s Galen Medal in Therapeutics to Professor Dame Kay Davies, for her work on the molecular analysis of human genetic disease, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and the application of genomics for the analysis of neurological disorders and gene–environment interactions. Professor Mike Hanna delivered the citation. The William Farr Medal was presented on the same occasion to Professor Craig Ritchie, for the substantial impact he has made at a global level on the well-being of older people through his leadership of dementia prevention research and service innovation, merging expertise in translational epidemiology with psychopharmacology and clinical trials design and delivery, noting his determination to see research from his own projects and elsewhere rapidly embedded in clinical practice and public health policy. Professor David Burn delivered the citation. Apothecaries’ prize At the same event the Apothecaries’ prize was awarded to Dr Yin Wu for his paper ‘An innate-like Vδ1+ γδ T cell compartment in the human breast is associated with remission in triple-negative breast cancer.’ 9 Surgeon General’s Apothecaries’ Prize Awarded in conjunction with the Surgeon General’s Office, for excellence in military medical support to crisis. The prize is awarded specifically for an action or contribution to a crisis subject to a specific MoD operational name or for planning, implementation or delivery of a specific activity within the crisis. The 2020 Surgeon General’s Apothecaries’ Prize was awarded to Surgeon Commander SA Bland RN, a consummate professional as a subject matter expert in his field. His personal response to the Nerve Agent attack in Salisbury in March 2018 was not only highly effective but contributed to protecting the lives of Armed Forces personnel operating in the area during the clean-up.
