Flinders University (Bedford Park/Kaurna Country) hosted an awards ceremony on 8 April to celebrate outstanding student achievements from across the College of Medicine and Public Health during 2024.

Congratulations to Antonia De Angelis for being the recipient of the 2024 Australasian College of Paramedicine Award for Research Excellence. This award recognises the student with the highest final grade in the undergraduate paramedicine research topic at Flinders University.

Congratulations also to Jessie Aldridge for being the recipient of the 2024 Russell Liston Award for Paramedic Clinical Excellence. This award is in honour of much-loved and dearly missed SAAS ICP Russell Liston. Nominations are received from SA Ambulance Service crews who host a Flinders Paramedicine student on a clinical placement who has demonstrated outstanding paramedic clinical excellence in the key areas of professionalism, clinical care, patient advocacy, interpersonal skills and clinical knowledge.

A panel consisting of SA Ambulance Service managers and Flinders Paramedicine academics then select the recipient from these nominations. The recipients receive a certificate and $500 each.

Flinders University would like to thank the Australasian College of Paramedicine for their ongoing generous support for these two awards.
