This award was established as a testament to Paul’s ability to combine his clinical work and expertise as a psychologist with research, and his generosity in reaching, connecting, and sharing his expertise with others, which is celebrated through the networking aspect of the award.

The award is provided jointly by Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research, the University of Sydney, and the National Spinal Injuries Centre Stoke Mandeville (Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust).
