National Clinical Impact Awards 2024

---

08 March 2024

The 2024 National Clinical Impact Awards are open for applications from Monday 4 March and close on Monday 15 April. The Advisory Committee on Clinical Impact Awards (ACCIA) advises health ministers on the presentation of clinical impact awards to consultants working in the NHS.

The SCTS is encouraging applications from Members in Good Standing in England and Wales. The awards are open to NHS consultants on an NHS consultant or academic contract and who are registered on the GMC.

 The awards are not stratified so applicants can apply and gain a higher award without first securing a lower award. The awards aim to recognise and reward innovation in delivery of clinical care which has wider impacts nationally and in improving patient care. The changes introduced since 2022 have increased the number of awards annually and incentivise participation in teaching, training, and research. The awards are non-pensionable and are normally for a 5-year duration.

Applications cover the following domains:

1. Service delivery and development.
2. Education, training, and people development.
3. Innovation and research.
4. Additional national impact

There is no longer a requirement to gain citations from National Nominating Organisations (NNO) such as SCTS or the Surgical Royal Colleges.
