The Tom Main Award
Do you know someone who has produced an award-worthy IPM-related piece of work?
The Tom Main Award takes the form of a certificate which was traditionally awarded for a piece of work demonstrating excellence in IPM work. It has not been awarded for some time and in our 50th Anniversary Year the IPM Council decided that it would be a good time to resurrect it.
It can be in any format (excluding posters for the ASM, which have their own award system):
- Verbal, as in delivering a talk, case presentation or teaching.
- Written, this can be online or in a publication, such as the IPMJ
- Clinical, demonstrated by patient feedback or colleague nomination
- Research in the field of psychosexual medicine
- Audit in the field
- Any other area deemed excellent by the committee
Closing date for nominations: Thursday 6th March 2025
Prior to the ASM the Tom Main Committee will meet to consider the nominations.
The Committee:
Caroline Hunter (IPM Chair)
Gillian Vanhegan (Nominated by Council to administer Tom Main Award)
Nancy Conroy (IPMJ Co-Editor)
Stuart Dawe-Long (Media and Communications Secretary)
Possible contenders can be nominated by anyone within the IPM or who has close associations with the IPM. The committee will choose a winner and the Certificate will be presented at the ASM.
We look forward to receiving your nominations!
