As part of our annual FHT Conference, we hold the FHT Excellence Awards to celebrate those raising the bar in therapy training and practice.
This year we had six categories covering the broad range of therapies supported by the FHT: Complementary Therapist of the Year, Beauty Therapist of the Year, Sports Therapist of the Year, Local Group Coordinator of the Year, Student of the Year and Tutor of the Year.
Once again, the judges were impressed by the quality and number of award entries this year. We would like to say a huge congratulations to all those who were finalists in their category, and of course, our six 2019 winners.
