The Aldridge Medal
Following a generous donation by one of the association’s founders, Bert Aldridge, the Aldridge Medal was launched in 2007. It is the first award to be run solely by the OTA. This award is designed to encourage members to present new research and developments in the field at the annual OTA conference. The best lecturer at the conference, as judged by the OTA member delegates who are present, is awarded the Aldridge Medal.
