The Joanna Mugridge Research Award is given to the best posters presented at our annual research conference to support ongoing research education and development.
About the award
Joanna Mugridge was a Marie Curie Nurse at the Marie Curie Hospice in Caterham. She supported Marie Curie’s constant dedication to supporting people at the end of life and those close to them, whatever the illness.
In memory of Joanna, who died in May 2000, the Joanna Mugridge Research Award was established by her family to continue to support Marie Curie and the people we care for.
The prize is £500, which is to be used to support ongoing research education and development. The award is presented each year at the Annual Marie Curie Research Conference.
