Chartered Week 2025: Counting down to Incorporation and celebrating Chartered Scientists
24th February 2025
As BASES counts down to its change in status, it is taking part in a new campaign celebrating all things chartered.
In May 2024, BASES was granted the Charter of Incorporation by His Majesty King Charles III and on 1 April 2025, BASES will be incorporated as The Chartered Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (CASES).
Chartered Week is a new national awareness week bringing together people and organisations across a range of sectors to shine a light on Chartered registration and its impact in society today. BASES is shining a spotlight on some of its Chartered Scientist members to raise awareness of the opportunity into this Chartered profession through the Association.
All BASES Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientists are eligible to become Chartered Scientists, having demonstrated the required competencies through the BASES Accreditation application process.
Chartered Scientist represents a single chartered mark for all scientists, recognising high levels of professionalism and competence in science. BASES has been a Licensed Member Body of the Science Council since 2013, enabling it to award Chartered Scientist status to members who meet the criteria.
What our Chartered Scientists say
Dr Chelsea Batty is the Principal Lead for Sport Science and Applied Science at Wrexham University:
“Becoming a chartered scientist though BASES was crucial as I felt it demonstrated my credibility in the field, demonstrating to the students, athletes and patients I work with that I have the expertise and knowledge to do my job. Having access to the network of professionals also allows me to keep up to date with the latest industry standards.”
Professor Andrew Lane FBASES is a Professor of Sport Psychology at the University of Wolverhampton:
“I applied to become a Chartered Scientist via the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) to strengthen my professional credibility. This recognition validates my scientific expertise and commitment to high standards, providing a solid foundation for my work. Being chartered enhances my reputation, reassuring clients and colleagues of my verified skills and dedication to excellence.”
Kayleigh Jane Dougan, provides sport psychology support for match officials at the Professional Games Match Officials (PGMOL):
"Becoming a Chartered Scientist through BASES was a key step in my professional development. I have always had a passion for sport and pursuing chartership provided me with evidence-based practice instilled within me high professional standards within performance psychology. The process was rewarding and its collaborative nature enabled me to develop a network of peers across multiple fields. Within the industry the CSci status signifies trust, competence, and a continuous drive for excellence.”
Richard Brennan, Director at Hoste Health in London:
“The BASES/CSci journey has been one of dedication, growth and passion. The process of professional development has helped me hone my expertise and maintain high professional standards. Now, as a BASES CSci. I strive to advance the field of clinical exercise physiology with CEP-UK.”
