2010/2011 CLINICAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS

As the Association of Breast Surgery, we will again be considering supporting the nominations of our members for Clinical Excellence Awards this year.

We have been informed that the results of last year's ACCEA award applications will be released at the end of July. The national deadline for applications for the coming year will be Friday 10^th December 2010.

We understand that the timetable for this year's SACDA awards has not been announced yet. However we will be working to the same timetable for these awards and will send our ranked lists of their fellows to the Scottish Colleges for them to use if appropriate. If you are working in Scotland and wish to seek the Association's nomination please submit your application to us on the forms available on the Association's website so that we can consider your application at the same time as those in England and Wales.

If you wish the Association of Breast Surgery to give consideration to supporting your nomination for a bronze, silver or gold award:

• Send your completed CEA application form electronically to lucydavies@absgbi.org.uk at the ABS office by Monday 2^ndAugust 2010 AT THE VERY LATEST. No late applications can be accepted.
• The ACCEA and SACDA systems for this year are not yet open, so please use the forms available at this website for the purposes of your submission to the Association.
• Notify us as to whether your application is for a bronze, silver or gold award.

The Association cannot nominate for platinum awards but can provide a ranked list of their members at that level to the relevant Colleges. If you wish to be considered for these ranked lists please submit your application in the same form as outlined above by the deadline of the 2^nd August 2010.

We strongly advise you to read and adhere to the ACCEA guidance available on their website:www.dh.gov.uk/ACCEA/index.htm before submitting.
