Moira Kaye Microbiology Bursary

Moira Kaye was a driving force and ever-present member of the Association for Clinical Microbiology (ACM) and then the Association for Laboratory Medicine's Microbiology Professional Committee for 20 years.

Moira was a great champion of Clinical Scientists and genuinely cared about our trainees. We were privileged to call Moira our friend and are pleased that this Microbiology educational bursary has been named in her honour.
