Achieving Fellowship is a recognition of outstanding contribution, leadership and commitment to the profession and the Institute. I want to congratulate each of the new Fellows today and thank them for their service and dedication to promoting professionalism, best practice and ethical behaviour in our industry. It is great to see a number of practioners from a diverse range of disciplines and from across the whole country being recognised for this work and I look forward to seeing how this develops in their new role as ambassadors for the Institute.
