The Faculty of Medicine award NHS staff for excellence in clinical teaching. Ten awards are made annually to NHS staff, working in any healthcare profession, who teach medical undergraduates from Imperial College London from the four main teaching hospitals, the district general hospitals, the mental health trusts or the primary trusts (or practices). The awards are based on the extent of the teaching commitment shown, evidence of a significant contribution to the organisation of the course and any innovations to the teaching programme or exceptional practise shown by the nominee.
Some nominations received may get placed into a different award category such as the Local Teaching Hero or Special Commendation.
