SRP Annual Conference 2023
2023 - A Radiation Protection Odyssey. A Leap into the Future - Celebrating 60 Years of SRP
What an amazing Annual Conference it was in Aberdeen at the P&J Live Conference Centre. With presentations from across the RP profession to Scottish dancing, this was certainly the place to be. Presentations are now available for delegates only to view and certificates of attendance will be sent out this week. Videos from sessions can be viewed through the conference app and will be uploaded to our website very shortly and you can view the photos on our Annual Conference gallery.
We'd like to say a big thank you Dr Colin Martin for presenting The Dunster Lecture this year and to John Jackson (SRP Archivist) for presenting on '60 years of SRP' (video below) and for being on the SRP History stand in the exhibition hall. (LtoR: Colin presenting and Jennifer Humphries (President) with John). View The Dunster Lecture for 2023.
The 5K took place around the outside of the venue, amongst the greenery. Congratulations to Gary Teague (Gemini Technology) for being the fastest male in SRP's 5K fun run and Ann Morgan (Dstl) for being the fastest female.
