Kevin Sleigh Memorial Presentation

Dr Kevin Sleigh

The Kevin Sleigh Memorial Presentation was established in 2019 in honour of Dr Kevin Sleigh’s contribution to occupational medicine and his great support for doctors in training.

The presentation features the Ramazzini Prize recipient – a prize awarded each year by the Australasian Faculty of Occupational Medicine (AFOEM), for the best scientific paper by an AFOEM Trainee.

ANZSOM provides financial support to the Ramazzini Prize winner for travel and accommodation for in-person attendance at the ASM, as well as free registration for the day of the presentation.

Previous (in-person) Kevin Sleigh Memorial Presentations have been supported by Sonic HealthPlus.
