Lift up your colleagues
Nominations are now open for our Celebration of Excellence Awards 2024
We are inviting you to nominate your colleagues for a prestigious Fellowship or a Merit Award in recognition of their special contribution to our profession .
Fellowship Awards
A Fellowship of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists is the highest honour we can bestow on our members in recognition of exceptional service and outstanding contribution to the profession .
We have three categories for nominations :
• Fellowship – Awarded to professional members of RCOT
• Fellowship for Associate Members – Awarded to Associate Members of RCOT
• Honorary Fellowship – Awarded to those who are not occupational therapists .
Merit Awards
A Merit Award recognises a significant achievement by one of our members at any stage in their career ( except for students and apprentices ).
Rather than a full Fellowship , which may take into account a whole career , this is a chance to highlight an individual ’ s project or elevate their work in their particular sphere of occupational therapy . It is often the first step to a full Fellowship .
How do I nominate ? If you have a colleague in mind who deserves a nomination or simply want to know more , you can visit rcot . co . uk / merit-fellowship or email fellowship . awards @ rcot . co . uk .
Deadline for nominations is 9am , Monday 2 October 2023 .
We look forward to reading your nominations !
