Congratulations to all those students who were recognised for their extra-curricular work within the community.

The students were awarded £500.00, from Santander, as part of the Santander Universities network of over 700 higher education institutions worldwide.

If you would like more information on the award, please visit the Newcastle University Website.

"Each year members of the Year of 1953 MB BS meet to award a prize of £500 to one final year medical student who is deemed by their peers to have contributed most to the camaraderie of the year group.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for alumni and medical students to get together and celebrate what it is to be a Newcastle medic."
