CAM Awards 2009 in association with BioCare®
This year’s Practitioner Awards, sponsored by BioCare®, continues CAM’s commitment to recognising the practitioners’ and students’ who use CAM to make a real difference to their community, or simply excel in their field of work.
So, do you know a nutritionist who is head and shoulders above the rest? Or a homeopath who has helped their local community using CAM therapies? If you do, simply nominate them for this prestigious award.
The awards will be presented at the CAM Conferences which will be launching in 2009 and the winners will receive a substantial cash prize, as well as coverage in CAM magazine.
The Outstanding Contribution to the Community Award
This award will recognise a practitioner or group of practitioners who have had a demonstrable impact on a local community or a special group.
Examples may be:

Involving people in a cultivation of good health through education programmes
Making a special contribution to a specific group of people, such as those with chronic fatigue

CAM Student of the Year
This award aims to recognise a student, at any stage of their course, who is impressing teaching staff as being of great promise. Universities, colleges and schools are invited to nominate students for this award, which may also be used to help a deserving student raise funds they need to complete the course, or to carry out a specific piece of research.
Outstanding practice award
