Previously this was known as the Young Investigator of the Year Award. This year the award has been re-named in memory of Dr Simon Newell - a renowned and widely respected neonatologist and paediatrician who had a passion to encourage the next generation of paediatric clinicians and researchers. The award comprises:

• a trophy
• £1000 for the winner
• £1000 to the winner's department to buy equipment and cover other expenses such as consumables connected with their research.

The RCPCH presents the winner at the RCPCH Conference in March 2018. The winner will be notified ahead of the conference and the RCPCH will cover the winner's travel and conference costs.
