Front-line doctors receive awards for their distinguished service in Iraq
More than a hundred military personnel have been honoured for their contribution to the medical care of the armed forces in Iraq by the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGBI).
General Sir Richard Dannatt, former head of the British Army, presented the Pask Certificates of Honour to regular and reserve members of the Defence Medical Services today (22 January). The ceremony took place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London, where the AAGBI is holding its WSM London winter conference.
Named after Professor E A Pask, a distinguished anaesthetist and experimental physiologist in the Royal Air Force Medical Branch during World War Two, the awards were established in 1977 to honour the gallantry of a registrar anaesthetist in the Moorgate Underground Disaster.
