National Clinical Impact Awards (NCIA)
The national Clinical Impact Awards (NCIAs) are designed to recognise and retain dedicated clinicians in England and Wales who lead the way in demonstrating national impact in the provision and improvement of patient care, by going above and beyond their demanding roles. They are run by the Advisory Committee on Clinical Impact Awards (ACCIA). The ACCIA runs the NCIA scheme for the DHSC in England.
Eligibility criteria: Fully registered medical or dental practitioner on the General Dental Council (GDC) specialist list; General Medical Council (GMC) specialist list or GP register. You need to be fully registered with a licence to practise AND have been, and continue to be, a permanent NHS consultant or academic GP in a permanent clinical academic role in higher education at the same level as a senior lecturer or above (You must have met both of these conditions for at least one year, on 1 April in the award year in which you are applying)
Applications for the 2025 awards open on 1 April 2025 and will close at 5pm on 27 May 2025.
