Nominations for National Honours

Find out how to nominate someone for a National Honour. The College‘s Nominations Committee, which is chaired by the President, meets twice a year to discuss nominations for national honours. This Committee tries to increase the number of National Honours awarded both to psychiatrists and to other individuals who have made a significant contribution to mental health.

The College will accept submissions throughout the year. Submissions will be considered for College support twice a year. Nominations should be received by 16 May 2025 for consideration in the next round.

The Cabinet Office has a very useful website describing the procedure for nominations. 

Please note, nominees must still be active. Those who've retired can't be nominated.

How to nominate
