Clinical Excellence Awards in England and Wales

Clinical Excellence Awards for consultants in England and Wales for 2010 are now closed to applications.

Details of the Awards system for England, can be found on the ACCEA website at www.advisorybodies.doh.gov.uk/accea/. It is very important for potential applicants to look closely at the criteria for these awards to ensure that they realistically fit the profile that ACCEA has described. The British Pain Society is very keen to encourage consultants to apply if they think that they might be eligible. The Society is only able to assess excellence in work carried out in the area of pain medicine. Excellence achieved locally or in other spheres should be rewarded through alternative routes. If you feel that you make a significant contribution to pain medicine in the wider NHS you should apply through the BPS but you must also submit an application through your local Trust, as it is very much more likely to succeed with the support of your employer.
