Following the message from ACCEA  below the RCP support scheme has been suspended

Message from ACCEA:
We are in constant contact with NHS staff and stakeholder organisations and know that Royal Colleges, employers, ACCEA committee members and applicants are concerned about the time needed to apply for an award and for employers to sign them off, which may be at the expense of clinical priorities.

We have therefore suspended applications for the 2020 national Clinical Excellence Awards competition. – There is now no need to complete an application or for employers to sign-off those already submitted.

We will implement contingency plans for new applications. We will ensure that those whose awards expire in April 2021 are not disadvantaged by being unable to submit a renewal application.

Any applications already drafted will be saved. The online form will remain available until 17:00 on Tuesday 24 March so that applicants can download their work.

We will provide further details next week after discussions with ministers and ACCEA committees.

All complete and partial RCP support applications are stored securely should you need a copy please email
