Clinical Excellence Awards are given to recognise and reward the exceptional contribution of NHS consultants, over and above that normally expected in a job, to the values and goals of the NHS and to patient care. The Society has successfully supported members' nominations in previous years, and we are pleased to offer this service again for the 2011 round. Please contact [email protected] if you wish the Society to support your nomination.

All applications for Society support must be submitted by Friday 10 September 2010.
