Celebrating the ATMS Natural Medicine Awards 2023
On Friday 10 November , ATMS hosted the annual Natural Medicine Awards Gala Dinner and the Practitioner of the Year , Clinic of the Year and Student of the Year winners for 2023 were announced .
It was a wonderful evening to celebrate all the winners and finalists in our annual Natural Medicine Awards . It also provided an opportunity to connect with our esteemed ATMS practitioners , industry collaborators and friends .
The evening was facilitated by Director Christine Pope with an introduction from our outgoing CEO , Charles Wurf and a final thanks from our President , Peter Berryman . The keynote speaker , Carrun Squires , an integrative naturopath and nutritionist , shared her inspiring journey with Involvement Volunteers International and their impactful initiative the Nutrition & Public Health Program which operates in Fiji . Her humble account of volunteering in Fiji utilising natural medicine skills to enhance local health served as a source of encouragement for fellow practitioners to explore similar opportunities . Heartfelt thanks to Carrun for offering us this valuable insight .
ATMS would like to thank everyone who entered or nominated for the awards . We had an impressive volume of entrants . We applaud the efforts of every single entrant for their contribution to natural medicine in Australia .
