Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards
Applicants need to submit the completed online application form to ACCEA by the deadline. To do this, once the application is complete, click submit to ACCEA. Failure to do this means that the application will not be accepted for the 2017 national awards round. Please make sure that your contact details are up-to-date.
Clinical Excellence Awards recognise and reward NHS consultants and academic GPs who perform over and above the standard expected of their role. They award quality and excellence, acknowledging personal contributions. The number of new national awards in the 2017 round will remain at 300 for England.
All applications, new or renewal, must be made on the online system. The Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards (ACCEA) has published guidance for applicants, assessors, nominators and employers.
You will need to put in a renewal application if:
- you received your current award in the 2013 round
- your award was last renewed in 2012 (awarded in 2008, 2003, 1998)
In some cases, consultants will be renewing out of the usual cycle. Awards are reviewed earlier if there is a change in job, or a significant change in job plan.
