National Clinical Impact Awards (NCIA)
The 2023 round of the National Clinical Impact Awards round opens for applications on 3 March and will close on 28 April.
The National Clinical Impact Awards, 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.
The Advisory Committee on Clinical Impact Awards (ACCIA) has made some changes to the 2023 awards. Previously applicants had the option to secure a citation and ranking from the RCoA or other professional organisations in support of their application. ACCIA will no longer require these in their assessments for the 2023 round, so applicants are no longer expected to obtain a ranking and citation from a Royal College as part of their submission.
- Read the application guidance available on gov.uk
- Applications should be made directly to ACCIA using the NCIA portal
Please contact ncia@rcoa.ac.uk directly should you have any further questions or queries. The College will also support applications by putting you in touch with Regional Leads (where available) who can provide advice and further guidance if required. Please note the College is not permitted to review or edit submissions.
