Frances Watkins Memorial Award
Frances Watkins was part of the HSJ Editorial team for 27 years from her first appointment as Assistant Editor in 1993 through to her taking up the position of Editorial Manager in 2003 and retirement in 2021. She oversaw the publication of over two-thirds of HSJ pages and tirelessly mentored HSJ Authors, Associate Editors, and Editors. Frances achieved all this with her characteristic warmth and empathy, making the HSJ Editorial Team feel like a welcoming family.
To create an enduring legacy of Frances’s immense contribution to HSJ, the Co-editors proposed to the 2022 Bureau to establish an annual Frances Watkins Memorial Award, to be given to a paper whose structure, presentation and writing are exemplary. The award will cover the Open Access charge thus enabling greater reach of the paper.
