NCAPOP Commendation – Celebrating projects that use National Clinical Audit Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) data to drive healthcare improvements
Communicating for Impact Commendation – Recognising excellence in effectively communicating project impact.

Each nomination form for the five main categories will include optional questions for those wishing to be considered for these extra commendations. You can simply opt in for these additional commendations by completing these optional questions when submitting your nomination(s). Winners will be announced during Clinical Audit Awareness Week (2nd – 6th June) at our daily Lunch & Learn online events.
