Medical art depicts rural GP

Kerry Pearson's 'Nosy old cow threatens patient confidentiality' was just one of the many entry's in a new medical art prize that rewards creative work that best captures the essence of rural general practice.

The Art of Rural General Practice Award, which is open to fifth-year medical students, was won by Tafadzwa Zvandasara, who had spent two months attached to doctors at Ardblair Medical Centre in Blairgowrie. Her video work consisted of a collection of words, images and music inspired by the Practice.

The award is presented by the Medical School. The entries were judged by internationally renowned artist and sculptor Tony Morrow and Russell Reid, past chairman of the Scottish Daily Newspaper Editors' Committee and former editor of the Sunday Post.
