Nominate a honorary doctorate

We award at least two honorary doctorates at our annual graduation ceremony and welcomes nominations from staff, students, and associates.

We are looking for nominations of individuals you think have made a contribution to mental health and care and have a connection to the work of the Trust (past or present).

The criteria for awarding an honorary doctorate is persons of conspicuous merit or distinction who are outstanding in their academic or professional life or particular field or who have given exceptional service to the Trust. It cannot be someone who is currently employed by the Trust. All nominations will be considered by the Education and Training Committee, with the final nominations being approved by the Board of Directors. We will then seek approval from our university partner to approach our nominees.
