National level clinical excellence awards

The Clinical Excellence Awards Scheme recognises and rewards NHS consultants and academic GPs who perform over and above the standard expected of their role. It is managed and overseen by the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards (ACCEA). National level clinical excellence awards reward NHS consultants for their contribution at a national level.

National level clinical excellence awards receive funding from ACCEA centrally. National awards are available in the following levels:

Bronze (This is the same amount as a Local 9 EBA award)
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Note: As a Local 9 EBA is the same amount as a National Bronze award, should an applicant hold a Local 9 EBA, the next level they can apply for would be a Silver National Award.

If you are going to apply for a National Level Award, please refer to the ‘2011 awards round’ page, which displays information and guidance about the National Awards aspect of the scheme.
