Support for ACCEA Awards
The Society is not able to support candidates for Platinum awards or local awards for which different systems apply. The Society is however able to support applicants from outside England where awards are still in operation.
Applications must be made on the attached documents; no other information (CV etc) will be considered. It is relatively straightforward to copy and paste information from these documents into the online ACCEA system.
Please note that these forms are for use by the Society only and that formal applications for higher awards can only be made using the ACCEA online system.
Bronze or Silver candidates may choose to submit ONE of the Supplementary forms with their application form. Gold candidates may choose to submit up to TWO of the forms below:
• Research/Innovation
• Teaching/Training
• Management/Leadership
Should a candidate choose to submit a supplementary form, the corresponding domain in the application form must be left blank.
The Society will follow a formal procedure as required by the ACCEA. Applications will be considered by a panel comprising the BSH President, Immediate Past President, Treasurer and Secretary together with the Chair of BCSH, a lay member and 3 Consultants who do not hold any national awards (at least one of whom has experience of BCSH). They will be scored according to the scheme detailed on the ACCEA website. Applicants may wish to draw particular attention to work done on behalf of the Society.
The ACCEA advises that Consultants who successfully apply for a national award normally have at least a Level 4 Local CEA and have been in post for at least 10 years. Therefore Consultants who have been in post for less than 10 years or who do not hold a Level 4 local award or greater will only receive support from the Society in exceptional circumstances. Consultants in this position are advised to concentrate on the local award process.
The BSH ranking panel meeting is planned for mid-October and all applications for support must be made by 5pm on Friday 23rd September 2011. Applications will only be considered when submitted on the standard ACCEA forms, which can be downloaded from the links below and sent by e-mail to the BSH administrator: Daphne.Harvey@b-s-h.org.uk. As mentioned previously applicants from outside England may use separate forms if higher awards are going to be made in 2012.
No additional information will be considered and the form should not be accompanied by any employer citations.
We are aware that there is a possibility that no new awards will be made in 2012 but the ACCEA has advised specialist societies to continue with their mechanisms for supporting members until a final announcement is made.
Form F is currently not loading to the website. It has been sent round to members but if you do not have a copy please email Daphne and she will send it to you again.
