Footnotes

  • 1Also nominated for election as Deputy Proctors on 1 October 2015 under Special Ordinance C (iii) 1 and 3.


  • 2The General Board proposes these amendments, made on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Clinical Medicine, to bring the regulations for prize funds awarded to those pursuing clinical study into line with the revised Curriculum Regulations for the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (see the General Board’s Notice, p. 520). The opportunity is also being taken to amend the regulations for the Henry Roy Dean Prize, enabling the Prize to be awarded to the candidate with the second highest score in the Pathology practical examination in Part I of the Final M.B. Examination, instead of on the results of a special examination. If approved, the revised regulations will apply to those commencing clinical studies on or after 1 September 2015.
