Geoff Meads of Winchester University has received the European Health Management Association's $5,000 Baxter Prize for an outstanding publication contributing to excellence in healthcare management in Europe.
Professor Meads, of the university's Research and Policy Centre for Faith and Wellbeing in Communities, said: "It feels like the culmination of my academic career in health services research."
His book Primary Care in the Twenty-First Century arose from a four-year international research programme he led with funding from the Health Foundation, PPP Foundation and the Department of Health.
