Northern Ireland Clinical Excellence Awards Committee
Clinical Excellence Awards are given to recognise and reward the exceptional personal contribution of consultants who show commitment to achieving the delivery of high quality care to patients and to the continuous improvement of Health and Social Care.
The awards
There are 12 levels of award. Lower awards (steps 1-8) are made by local (employer) committees. These primarily reward outstanding contributions to local service delivery and priorities. Higher awards are recommended by the Northern Ireland Clinical Excellence Awards Committee (NICEAC). For higher awards, contributions at regional, national and international level are important.
Self-nomination is the only method of application within the scheme. Consultants who have at least three year’s experience at consultant level can apply for a local award, and, for higher awards, consultants must have achieved a minimum of four local awards to become eligible.
The NI Clinical Excellence Awards Scheme 2012-2013 sets out in detail the rules of the scheme, including the eligibility criteria and covers both the higher and lower levels of awards.
