ARTP

🎉Today is our birthday! 🎉We've already cut the cake and as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations we are now proud to formally launch our ARTP Fellowships.

This landmark initiative is amongst the highest level of professional recognition awarded by the ARTP. It has been established to honour individuals who have demonstrated sustained excellence, leadership, and significant contributions to respiratory and sleep science, as well as to the wider advancement of healthcare science.

The introduction of Fellowships marks a pivotal moment in ARTP’s history. As the profession continues to evolve and expand its influence across clinical practice, education, research, and policy, it is vital that we recognise those who have shaped, and continue to shape, its future.

The ARTP Fellowship Programme will:
👏Recognise exceptional and sustained contributions to the profession.
👏Strengthen the ARTP’s role as a leader in education, workforce development, and quality standards.
👏Create a visible and influential community of professional leaders and role models.
👏Support mentorship, collaboration, and the development of future generations.

Fellowship is more than an award, it is a recognition of impact, leadership, and legacy. As we celebrate 50 years of the ARTP, we look forward to recognising those who have defined our past and those who will lead us into the future.
