Shared Learning Awards 2012

The NICE Shared Learning Awards 2012 will take place at the conference, recognising and rewarding examples of how NICE guidance has been put into practice in the NHS, local authorities, voluntary organisations and elsewhere.

Entries for the 2012 Awards are now closed. However, if you've put NICE guidance into practice locally, we still want to hear from you: submit your example to our online database now.

All submissions to our online Shared Learning Database will now be automatically entered into the pool for consideration for next year's awards, subject to passing a simple quality assurance process.

Bursary scheme

NICE runs a bursary scheme allowing patient/carer and voluntary organisations to apply for a full-paid bursary place at the conference. The 2012 scheme has now closed.
