If you wish to seek APA support in application for an award then please could you submit your completed ACCEA form(s) to awolfbch@aol.com by the Monday 4^thMarch 2019. This a very tight deadline, but all assessments and citations will need to be completed in a very short time frame. It will be helpful if you can advise us of a person outside your Trust who could provide a citation on your behalf should the APA approve support for the application

Consultants will need to put in a renewal application if:

• they received their current award in the 2015 round
• their award was last renewed in 2014 (awarded in 2010, 2005)

In some cases, consultants will be renewing out of the usual cycle. Awards are reviewed earlier if there is a change in job or a significant change in job plan. Existing award holders, who are due to review their award are strongly advised to treat the process as if they were applying for a new award as the renewal criteria have become much more rigorous. All details of application are available on the ACCEA website.

Best wishes
