The Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) is delighted to announce that Chris Packham will judge our essay writing competition for medical students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re encouraging medical students to submit an essay of a maximum 1,000 words on the question: Why does biodiversity matter to healthcare and what should we do about it?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shortlisted finalists will be judged by Mr Packham, the broadcaster, environmental activist and animal welfare campaigner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His recent TV credits include Earth for the BBC, and Is it Time to Break the Law for Channel 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is an ambassador for numerous wildlife and environmental NGOs, and organises his own independent campaigns, recently including ‘No New Oil<\/a>‘ and ‘Restore Nature Now<\/a>‘.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
