The winners of the 2023 Max Horsnell Travel Award and National Student Elective Prize have been announced by the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD). The annual awards recognise vision and endeavour in the field of paediatric dentistry. These BSPD prizes are awarded each year following a judging process for both that is overseen by three members of BSPD’s Conference Abstract and Prize Committee (CAPC).

There are two winners of the Max Horsnell Travel Award. BSPD established this travel bursary to support members (excluding consultants and equivalent academic grades) who wish to present a poster or oral communication at scientific meetings of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry or the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry. An award of £500 is given towards travel costs to relevant dentistry conferences per annum.

Jasmine Cachia Mintoff is the joint winner of the BSPD Max Horsnell Travel Award 2023.

Jasmine Cachia Mintoff from East Surrey Hospital submitted the winning paper entitled, ‘What’s On Your Mind! A survey to explore the impact of specialty training on the mental health of trainees in paediatric dentistry’. Her presentation showed that training pressures have a negative effect on the mental health of trainees and that further support and interventions were necessary to tackle bullying.
