Anyone considering applying for an Award
should read the Advisory Committee on
Clinical Excellence Awards’ (ACCEA) Procedures
The College’s Clinical Excellence Awards
Committee (CEAC) consists of Honorary Officers (President, Dean,
Registrar, Editor and Treasurer), representatives selected by the
Executive Committees of Faculties, Division and Sections and a lay
observer.
The Chair of ACCEA has emphasised the need for
the Divisions to play a central role in the nominating
process. Faculties and Sections, therefore, begin the College
process by preparing their ranked lists. They send these
lists to the Divisions who use them in their nomination
process. Individual Faculty, Section and Division lists are
then submitted to the College’s Awards Administrator to be
considered at the College meeting in November (see timetable
below).
The Faculties, Sections, Divisions and College
committee will use ACCEA’s five domains in determining their ranked
lists. These domains are:
- Delivering a high
quality service
- Developing a high
quality service
- Managing a high
quality service
- Research and
innovation
- Teaching and
training
How to be nominated for an award
College Members who wish to be considered for
an Award should submit their ACCEA CVQ electronically to Sue Duncan, Awards
Administrator, by 5 pm on Monday 25 July.
The cover sheet must also be completed identifying your Faculty or
Section, Division and the award you are applying for.
Bronze and Silver applicants may choose to
submit ONE of the following options:
- Research & Innovation
(D)
- Teaching/Training (E)
- Managing & Leading
(F)
Gold applicants may choose to submit up to
TWO of these options
Members should be aware that it is their
responsibility and not the College’s to ensure that they complete
the CVQ form on ACCEA’s website and submit it by their closing
date, which is usually in December. Members should also be
aware that Trust support is not a pre-requisite for College
support.

| Citations |
The College sends ONE
citation on behalf of each nominee submitted to ACCEA.
Citations must be drafted specifically for the College and must not
be written by a colleague from the same institution. They
must also focus on international or national rather than local
achievements. The closing date for receiving citations
is Monday 14 November.
