Some recent successful candidates
Laura Gerla IRadP( UKHSA) " This recognition means a lot to me; it ' s a reflection of the journey I ' ve been on, the challenges I ' ve taken on and the range of experiences I ' ve built up working in radiation protection across different sectors. I ' m thankful to the many mentors, colleagues, and friends who ' ve shared their knowledge, offered guidance and inspired me to keep learning every day.”
Tim Slater CRadP( Cyclife UK)“ I applied because I thought it was important to gain external confirmation( validation) of the level of expertise and experience that I have managed to achieve. I also see chartership as providing a degree of job security and resilience because I think it ' s something that employers can easily use to confirm your ability. I was really happy that my application was successful, particularly because much of my work has focused on radiological protection in a post-closure setting in relation to disposal of radioactive wastes. Arguably, this is quite a niche area, so I see SRP ' s award of my chartership as a reflection of the breadth of importance of radiological protection."
Jess Heaps CRadP( Rolls- Royce Submarines) Jess is the first person to regrade from one level( IRadP in 2022) to another( CRadP in 2025):“ I was over the moon to hear my application for CRadP had been successful. Professional recognition and continuous personal development are really important to me, so it feels extra special to be the first person to regrade between titles. I think registration is a great way to demonstrate that you are working to high standards and I
hope this encourages others that progression is possible and worthwhile.”
Adam Sims IRadP( Westinghouse UK), " I applied for the IRadP title as a way to formally demonstrate my technical competence and commitment to working within the radiation protection profession to a recognised standard. Achieving this title is an important milestone in my professional development, reflecting both my current knowledge and the practical skills required in the field as well as validating them. It also encourages continued engagement with CPD, which is essential not only for maintaining professional standards but also for future RPA renewals. Ultimately, I see IRadP as a valuable step towards achieving Chartered Radiation Protection Professional( CRadP) status in the future."
Stephen Armstrong CRadP( Sellafield Ltd)“ I chose to apply for CRadP to formally recognise the work I do as a radiation protection professional and the responsibility involved in supporting safety within some of the most challenging radiological environments. Achieving Chartered status is an honour and provides meaningful recognition of the standards I strive to uphold in my role. I am grateful for the support of colleagues and mentors throughout my journey, and I look forward to continuing to champion good practice, support others, and contribute to the wider RP community.”
