Article title; missing members edit

  1. From this, it looks like the 2017 winner is or will be Sally Davies, and will be awarded in 2018 at the BPS conference.
  2. There's not anything on the prize on "cameron+prize"+site:ed.ac.uk the Uni of Edinburgh site (The Lewis Cameron Prize is a postgrad prize for bacteriology/immunology)
  3. It doesn't look like anyone was awarded in 2015 or 2016
  4. Nowadays it seems to be "Cameron Prize for Therapeutics". Rename?

Notability edit

There doesn't look to be a lot of good information on the prize visible online (other than X, Y, and Z won it), however this book states that the prize is/was "prestigious", and the wins are cited as "hono(u)rs" a number of times, so that it appears that the win would qualify as a claim against WP:NACADEMIC#2, and thus the prize itself would be sufficiently notable for the article to be retained. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 04:15, 8 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Cameron Prize of the University of EdinburghCameron Prize for Therapeutics of the University of Edinburgh – Including the 'for Therapeutics' better describes the rationale for the awarding of a prize to a person; the BPS/RSE[1] also also refer to the name of the prize in this way, albeit shortened not to include the name of the awarding body.
