On behalf of Officers, Council and friends and colleagues at the BNMS we would like to congratulate Professor Alan Perkins who has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours in recognition of his outstanding services to patient care and clinical science.
Professor Alan Perkins is a leader in the field of Medical Physics, particularly in the area of Nuclear Medicine and related drug formulation and drug targeting. He has devoted most of his working life, and a considerable commitment of his own personal time, to improving patient care through original research and the inspiration and professional leadership of fellow scientists, locally, nationally and internationally.
Having served as BNMS Honorary Secretary, Alan then went on to become the first non-medically qualified person to have been President of the British Nuclear Medicine Society.
His excellence has been recognised by several prizes and awards from professional bodies, most notably the 2013 British Nuclear Medicine Society, Norman Veall Medal for outstanding scientific contribution to Nuclear Medicine.
Alan Perkins is emeritus professor of Medical Physics in Radiological Sciences at the University of Nottingham School of Medicine, an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists.
