Lucinda and Danijela presented their work at an online members' networking event on the 5 February, alongside our runners-up Purvi Gandhi, Dr Iain Wilson and Dr Ioanna Kapantai, whose work you can also read more about here.

The standard of all presentations was excellent, and the panel was faced with two very difficult judgements. All case studies will be published in a forthcoming issue of Psychology Teaching Review.

In addition, the winners will receive a personal prize of £1000, a year's free membership of DART-P, and free registration for the 2024 DART-P Conference.

Details of the 2024 competition will be announced in the coming months. For any enquiries, please contact [email protected]
