HEART UK is recognised as a 'specialist society' by the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards (ACCEA) and the charity can therefore provide support to Healthcare Professional members who are eligible to apply for the NHS Consultants' Award Scheme. Clinical Excellence Awards are given to recognise and reward exceptional contribution of NHS consultants, over and above that normally expected in a job, to the values and goals of the NHS and to patient care.
