The Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Awards: nominations open
Nominations open today for the 2026 RCPsych Awards, which celebrate the highest level of achievement in psychiatry.
We need to know about your colleagues, mentors and trainees in psychiatry who have gone above and beyond, and impressed over the past year!
Who has inspired you, with their dedication and commitment? Which team has gone that extra mile? Please let us know by nominating them for an award.
About the awards
This year’s ceremony will have 18 categories including individual awards for all psychiatrists, as well as awards to recognise the work being done by teams in mental health care.
We want to make sure our awards are truly reflective of the breadth, diversity and talent of our membership and encourage entrants from across the UK.
The closing date for entries is 5pm on 29 May 2026.
Spreading the word
This year we want to spread the word even wider and have produced a suite of resources especially for employers to share with staff.
This includes posters, social media banners and other resources to help ensure every member, and wider mental health teams, hears about the awards and can make a nomination.
Announcing the shortlist and winners
We’ll announce the shortlisted nominees in the summer, before revealing the winners at the RCPsych Awards Ceremony on 5 November.
