Each year, we celebrate our members through the FHT Excellence Awards. These awards offer all FHT members a chance to be noticed for their hard work in the therapy community, recognising and celebrating the incredible work each of them carry out in their practices, as well as those who share our passion for training and education.
It’s never been more important to showcase your work and show the many ways professional therapists can make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of others. We pride ourselves on having a strong, qualified and determined membership, and it’s time to celebrate them.
Entries for the 2025 Excellence Awards will open on 1st May 2025. Keep an eye out on FHT's social media, blogs, magazines and e-newsletters for more information on how to apply and what the judges are looking for!

This year we have two new award categories. FHT Ambassador of the Year will celebrate our wonderful FHT Ambassadors, who advocate for the FHT, helping to connect, educate and inspire the wider community. The Innovation Award will recognise therapists across all modalities who have introduced groundbreaking ideas, techniques or advancements in the therapy industry.

Complementary Therapist of the Year
Beauty Therapist of the Year
Sports Therapist of the Year
FHT Fellow Lifetime Achievement Award
Tutor of the Year

A MESSAGE TO OUR MEMBERS:
We are very aware of how modest you can be and that you perhaps feel more passion towards making a difference to your clients’ lives than gaining public recognition for the work you do – and rightly so, caring for and supporting others is exactly what our profession is all about.
But, there are also some very real and far-reaching benefits when it comes to entering the FHT Excellence Awards. Winning, or even being short-listed, for an award provides both you and the FHT the opportunity to promote best practice to the world, as well as the therapies you are so zealous about.
