University of Bristol Bursary Award

BRISTOL, U.K. - Feb. 26, 2021 - PRLog -- A student at the University of Bristol is this year's recipient of the Sue Britton Bursary. Sue Britton was a double-lung transplantee who passed away in 2020. She had worked in occupational health for many years.

To those who knew her, Sue embodied the most positive disposition and held humanity in the highest regard. An annual award is made in her name by specialist medical business Occupational Health Assessment Ltd, to a medical student who has shown exceptional courage in the face of difficult circumstances.

The latest recipient, Lynda Imessaoudene, a final year medical student at The University of Bristol, was chosen as the recipient by Sue's family.

Lynda moved to the UK from Algeria in 2003. She learned to speak English, working as a childminder to pay for her language tuition. Having been successful in securing a place to study Medicine at the University of Bristol, Lynda has continued to work at weekends and be a parent to two children throughout her course.

Having faced many moments of hardship, doubt and difficulty, whilst dedicating her professional future to helping others, Lynda embodies the spirit that the award was created to reflect.
