IBMS members receive awards and commendations at this year’s Science Council CPD Awards.
The annual awards celebrate the continuing professional development (CPD) efforts and achievements of registrants from across the Science Council registers.
This includes Registered Scientist (RSci), Registered Science technician (RSciTech), Chartered Scientist (CSci) and Chartered Science teacher (CSciTeach).
Three IBMS members were recognised for their exceptional CPD: Katarzyna Sala, RSciTech (winner); Sheri Scott CSci (commendation); Joanne Watkins, CSci (commendation).
Awards and commendations are given for an individual’s commitment to undertaking work-based and self-directed learning. The work has to meet high professional standards and demonstrate that it has benefited the quality of their practice, their service and their colleagues, patients and clients.
Katarzyna said: “I’m honoured to receive the award, it will motivate me even more.”
Joanne said: “This is one of the fantastic things you are awarded as an individual, but because of the process of CPD, I believe my team and colleagues also benefit.”
Sheri added: “I’m delighted to have this chance to promote CPD, as it’s not just about developing yourself, but also your colleagues, your workplace, everyone benefits from the skills you’ve gained during your CPD.”
The IBMS would like to congratulate the three members for their hard work.
