Professional awards

The CSP gives awards every year including Fellowships, Honorary Fellowships and Distinguished Service Awards. These acknowledge the contribution made by members, and notable non-members, to advancing the profession through their outstanding contribution to and impact on physiotherapy practice.

Applications and/or nominations for our Professional Awards are permanently open and you can find nomination guidance and submission forms. 

We will use the information provided for the purpose of processing the application/nomination for an award. For further details on how the CSP uses and manages data, please see our privacy policy.

Our 2025 panel dates will be released shortly.

Please email professionalawards@csp.org.uk with any questions.
