Clinical Audit Heroes Awards 2025 – now open!

10 Apr 2025

HQIP is thrilled to announce that the Clinical Audit Heroes Awards, part of Clinical Audit Awareness Week 2025 (#CAAW25, 2nd – 6th June), are officially NOW OPEN for nominations! Run in collaboration with the National Quality Improvement (incl. Clinical Audit) Network (NQICAN), these prestigious awards celebrate excellence in clinical audit and quality improvement across healthcare. This year, the awards recognise outstanding projects across five main categories:

• Patient Safety
• Patient & Public Involvement
• Healthcare Inequalities
• Influencing Change, and
• Efficiencies.

Additionally, two brand-new commendations have been introduced: the NCAPOP Commendation for projects using National Clinical Audit Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) data, and the Communicating for Impact Commendation for excellence in project communication. The winner(s) of each award will be announced during a series of #CAAW25 Lunch & Learn online events, running daily throughout 2nd– 6th June, from 12:30 – 1:30pm. These sessions will feature expert speakers discussing key themes on effectively utilising clinical audit to prevent patient harm, engage and inform patients and the public, improve healthcare inequalities, drive change, and make healthcare sustainable. You can register to attend these Lunch & Learn events by visiting the main #CAAW25 page. Entering the awards is quick and easy! Go to the Clinical Audit Heroes Awards page for details on the criteria, eligibility and online nomination forms for all awards. The deadline for nominations is Sunday 27th April 2025 (23:59).
