How to nominate
Commendations recognise student doctors for activities where they have performed beyond expectations, including clinical skills, research activity, organising activities, helping others, dealing with unexpected events, leadership, and more.
Student doctors, visit the student intranet Commendation page for more information and to download a Commendation Form. You can nominate a fellow Student Doctor or a member of staff. Completed forms should be sent directly to the Director of Studies: Dir.mbchb@liverpool.ac.uk.
Forms are then emailed to the student who is being commended, and you can upload this to your E-portfolio under the prizes section. Students who have received a commendation form are also celebrated in The Pulse, the monthly School newsletter.
