The Pilkington Prizes are awarded annually to members of staff in recognition of their contributions to teaching excellence. The awards were initiated by Sir Alastair Pilkington, who believed that the quality of teaching was crucial to the University's success.
A virtual ceremony is being planned for Tuesday 29 June, where we look forward to celebrating all thirteen Prize Winners.
See the list of all the 2021 winners here.
You can learn more about the Prizes, including Winners from previous years, on the Pilkington Prize page.
Elizabeth said:
“I was absolutely delighted to hear that I had been awarded a Pilkington Prize. This isn’t just because this year has been a challenging one for all of us and good news is especially welcome at the moment! Each year, Heads of School put forward nominations with supporting evidence which includes student feedback, commentary by colleagues and a report from the Head of Department. This was all forwarded to me with notification of the award and it made my year! It’s always encouraging to receive positive feedback from my colleagues and my students about how they view my approach to teaching and the changes that I have implemented to the curriculum. It helps me to see that what I do does make a positive difference to my students, and helps them to become kind, excellent, trustworthy doctors.”
