Professor Alison Britton
Glasgow Caledonian University’s law department has announced an academic prize in memory of the late Professor Alison Britton.
The Alison Britton Prize for Advanced Healthcare Law and Ethics will be awarded to the best final-year undergraduate medical law student.
Professor Britton, who passed away last year, was loved by her students and was a wonderful ambassador for the university. Her work had a profound impact on patient care and medical standards.
As professor of healthcare and medical law, she carried out consultancy work for the World Health Organization, the British Medical Association, the General Medical Council and the Scottish government during a distinguished career.
In addition to the new award, GCU Law has also launched a new Lombardi Associates Prize for Sports Law. The winning student will be offered a work experience placement with the firm.
