The Network recognises the hard work of all the BPTs, who provide vital and high quality care for the patients of South West Sydney. In 2015, two awards were created for this purpose, The Physicians’ Physician Award and The Academic Award. In 2017, the former was renamed The John Moutzouris Physicians’ Physician Award in honour and memory of John who had been awarded both Awards as a final year BPT.

The Academic Award Criteria: The successful recipient of the award will be the trainee who scores the highest cumulative mark in the written and clinical exam in the same year. The marks will need to be submitted to the PTU in the form of the original letter from the RACP. If there is more than one candidate that shares the highest cumulative mark the award will be shared.
