Informing the development of a scoring system for National Health Service Clinical Impact Awards; a Delphi process and simulated scoring exercise.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To establish principles informing a new scoring system for the UK's Clinical Impact Awards and pilot a system based on those principles.

Design

A three-round online Delphi process was used to generate consensus from experts on principles a scoring system should follow. We conducted a shadow scoring exercise of 20 anonymised, historic applications using a new scoring system incorporating those principles.

Setting

Assessment of clinical excellence awards for senior doctors and dentists in England and Wales.

Participants

The Delphi panel comprised 45 members including clinical excellence award assessors and representatives of professional bodies. The shadow scoring exercise was completed by 24 current clinical excellence award assessors.
