On Friday 23 May 2025, the Institute was delighted to host its Annual Awards Presentation at the COSLA Conference Centre in Edinburgh. The event brought together award recipients, colleagues, and guests to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and achievements of those across the Environmental Health profession.

A huge congratulations to all of this year’s graduates in the REHIS Diploma in Environmental Health, Certificate of Equivalence and SFSORB Higher Certificates – your commitment to excellence and professional development is truly inspiring. Other awards presented were the Highfield Awards to those candidates achieving the highest marks at Advanced and Intermediate levels. We were proud to recognise your achievements and celebrate alongside you.

We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to Highfield for sponsoring the Highfield Awards and it was great to have Dan McDade with us to present the Community Training awards.

We’d also like to remind our newly qualified Diploma graduates that they are entitled to a free year of REHIS membership. We encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity by exploring the benefits of membership, including access to events, training, and resources. It’s also the perfect time to get started with Continuing Professional Development (CPD) — a valuable way to enhance your knowledge and work your way towards chartered status.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event. It was a pleasure to gather in person, and we look forward to continuing to support and celebrate the success of our members.
