Changes to the ACCIA system from 2023
From March 2023, National Clinical Impact Awards (NCIA) scheme applications will no longer include rankings and citations from national nominating organisations.
Applicants will now be able to seek guidance from any number of relevant membership organisations (MOs) they wish to approach.
MOs may review draft applications, providing pointers and advice, but must not edit or critique the text directly, as the application must be written solely by the applicant.
