A fourth year PhD student and research fellow in the School of Health Sciences at The University of Nottingham has been awarded the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine top award at the 7th World Congress on Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care.
Joseph Manning's abstract entitled, "Long-Term Psychosocial Well-Being Following Acute Life Threatening Critical Illness: Exploring Childrens' Narratives of Survival" was one of six selected to be awarded this accolade from over 1200 submissions from around the globe.
Joseph presented his paper on 7 May 2014 at the congress in Istanbul, Turkey. He was awarded a certificate and $1000 from the Editor-in-Chief of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Professor Patrick M. Kochanek and the congress chair Professor Jos Latour.

It is a great privilege to be recognised by the leading clinicians and researchers in the field. It was a fantastic platform to represent the School of Health Sciences, share my work, glean feedback, and develop international collaborations for future work.'
The abstract has been published in a special supplement of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.
