What makes a good doctor? This is one of two questions our medical students were invited to answer for a chance to win the 2026 Ayers-Evans Prize. Established to commemorate Miss K.A. Ayres, the prize is open to Pembroke undergraduates reading Medicine or Physiological Sciences.

Pembroke alumna, Lily Elsner (2019, MBA), and her co-founder, Nick Shipley, recently celebrated the launch of their startup’s flagship product, the Jackit™, at the Oxfordshire Life Sciences Innovation Showcase at the House of Lords.

Graduate-entry medic Elena Andree was recognised with a prestigious award at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) conference in Cape Town, South Africa for her research on imaging in neurodegenerative diseases.
