Past winners
Our 2024 winner of the Student Essay Competition was Fatma Zahra Hassan, a student at the University of Leicester. Fatma's essay discussed telehealth and accessibility from a unique perspective addressing the question of whether digitalisation within healthcare is being welcomed and how this will affect the public’s health in the next decade. Fatma’s paper was published in the January 2025 issue of Perspectives in Public Health.
