The nominations process for the 2012 DOP Awards is now open and will close in September 2012. The ceremony is to be held on the 15th November at the British Medical Association Headquarters, Tavistock Square London WC1H 9JP.

The Awards are a great way to recognise the work of others within our community and rubber stamp careers within Occupational Psychology.

Nominate yourself or a colleague for the Practitioner of the Year Award

This is a prestigious award that gives the DOP the chance to recognise, celebrate and publicise some of the excellent work that you carry out with clients. The nomination process is straightforward and can be completed easily by an involved third party (a colleague, or client) or the nominee themselves. Winners of Practitioner of the Year awards in previous years have found the accolade immensely worthwhile; not only have they been thrilled to have their work recognised by their peers, but they have benefitted from the publicity they have received and an enhanced professional reputation.

Nominate a colleague for the Lifetime Achievement Award

The DOP is immensely proud of the history and quality of the work that Occupational Psychologists carry out and the eminence of many of our colleagues. This award allows us to recognise those who, throughout prestigious and active careers have significantly contributed to the growth of the discipline, to organisational growth and development, and ultimately to society at large. We would welcome your ideas about people who you think would be worthy of such an award.

Nominate a colleague for the Academic Contribution to Practice Award

Whilst many DOP members are practitioners, the continued quality of our services is completely reliant on those working in academia who conduct research and formulate the robust approaches that we use in our work with clients. This award recognises an individual who has contributed significantly to the theory and knowledge base, and whose contribution has resulted in better practice and outcomes in organisations.
