National Clinical Impact Awards
The National Clinical Impact Awards [NCIAs], previously the National Clinical Excellence Awards, are prestigious awards, granted to some of the NHS’ most senior clinicians via an annual competition. The awards seek to recognise the unique and specialised role that NHS consultant doctors, dentists and academic GPs play and the impact of their work on the NHS at a national level.
In past years RSTMH has been a National Nominating Organisation (NNO) and able to support eligible members who were applying for national awards by our ACCIA sub-Committee. However, from last year RSTMH is no longer able to carry out this support.
If you are thinking of applying, please do follow the link below to find out more about the application process. We wish you the best of luck with it.
2025 National Clinical Impact Awards
Applications for the 2025 National Clinical Impact Awards open on 1 April 2025 and close at 5PM on 27 May 2025.
There are some significant changes this year. In summary:
- Employer citations/statements - these will no longer be required, instead they will ask a series of questions to confirm that the contents of the form are correct and the applicant is meeting their contractual obligations.
- Care Quality Commission/Health Inspectorate Wales ratings - applicants will no longer be asked to provide these, though they can still comment on their impact on such ratings in their domain evidence if they wish.
- Timing of award payments - all new awards granted in the 2025 round will commence 1 April 2026 and run for five years from that date. This will harmonise all awards granted in any given year, making re-application timing consistent and easier to understand.
