HSANZ MENTORSHIP IN HAEMATOLOGY AWARD Mentorship is essential for success in a career in haematology, yet it is often a component of career development that, while prized by recipients, is rarely rewarded. Many of us have benefited from the support of an exceptional mentor, but often this role is unrecognised. The HSANZ Haematology Mentor of the Year Award recipient is someone who has demonstrated an outstanding and lasting impact in the education and training of trainees / nurses / scientists. The assessment of the nominee's contribution in relation to others is an essential part of the nomination. To nominate a Mentor download this Criteria and Guidelines document |
