  • Higher Psychiatric Resident Doctor of the Year Criteria

  • This award is for resident doctors (ST4 – ST6 and SpR - formerly known as trainees) who have demonstrated through their clinical performance and practice that they have attained a level of achievement over and above that expected for their grade. The person nominated should be resident in the UK and should be a member or associate (including PMPT) of the College.

    The entry should describe how the nominee has demonstrated exceptional levels of achievement as:

    a) A professional (10 marks)
    b) A clinician (10 marks)
    c) A leader (10 marks)
    d) An educator (10 marks)
    e) A researcher (5 marks)

    The researcher criterion is weighted lower than the other criteria as there is now a dedicated award for early career researchers. Resident doctors who predominantly work in an academic setting should be nominated for the Early Career Academic Researcher award.

    Entries should relate to work undertaken between January 2025 and December 2025 only. Activities undertaken outside these dates will not be considered.
