Earlier this year the Extreme Environments Laboratory (EEL) became the first institute to be given the inaugural Excellence in Physiology Award from The Physiological Society (TPS), the largest network of physiologists in Europe, supporting their members to improve lives through physiological discovery.
This prestigious honour serves to commemorate the EEL’s work influencing global search, rescue and out of hospital practices and policies, as well as improving both athlete and occupational safety in extreme environments.
To mark the accolade, a plaque was unveiled at the University’s School of Psychology, Sport and Health Sciences on 7 December 2023, which is home to the Extreme Environment Laboratories.
