Baroness Finlay, CSP president

It was my pleasure to welcome more than 60 CSP members to the CSP Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was held in person at the Manchester Central Convention Complex on Saturday 12 October 2024.

This was our first in-person AGM since 2019, and it was a wonderful to see members in real life again, and at the CSP Annual Conference. As always, I expressed my sincere thanks to all member physiotherapists and support workers for their work throughout the past year.

At the meeting, the chief executive John Cowman presented the 2023 Annual Report and accounts. Even though 2023 may seem like a long time ago, it is a requirement to inform the membership at the AGM what the CSP has done in the previous year and to present the accounts. Vice-president Alex Mackenzie also welcomed new CSP Council members elected in 2024.

Ishmael Beckford, CSP chair of Council, then gave his final chair address to members and shared his reflections on 2024. 

Massive thanks were given to Alex Mackenzie the outgoing vice-president for her exemplary service as both chair of Council and then vice-president, and Ishmael Beckford was welcomed as the new vice-president of the CSP.

Sylvia Wojciechowski was welcomed as the new elected chair of Council and Alex Spearritt as the re-elected vice-chair.
