To inform the discussion regarding the origins of Laboratory Medical Consultant clinical merit award holders (LMC) whether the awards came from the Clinical Excellence Awards (CEA) or Distinction Awards (DA) schemes.
Setting - CEA is a scheme to financially reward senior doctors in England and Wales who are assessed to be working over and above the standard expected of their role. The DA scheme is the parallel and equivalent scheme in Scotland. Participants - All of the merit award holders in the 2019 round. Design - This involved a secondary analysis of the complete 2019 published dataset of award winners. Statistical analyses were performed with Chi-square tests set at p < 0.05 level for statistical significance.
The top five medical schools (London University, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Oxford) were responsible for 68.4% of the LMC merit award holders in the 2019 round. 97.9% of the LMC merit award holders were from European medical schools, whereas 90.9% of the non-LMC award holders were from European medical schools. The LMCs with A plus or platinum awards came from only six medical schools: Aberdeen, Edinburgh, London University, Oxford, Sheffield and Southampton. In contrast, the B or silver/bronze LMC award holders came from a more diverse background of 13 medical schools.
The majority of LMC merit award holders originated from only five university medical schools. All the LMCs with A plus or platinum awards came from only six university medical schools. There is an apparent overrepresentation of a small number of medical schools of origin amongst those LMCs that hold national merit awards.
探讨实验室医学顾问临床卓越奖获得者（LMC）的起源，这些奖项是来自临床卓越奖（CEA）还是卓越奖（DA）计划。
背景——CEA 是一项奖励英格兰和威尔士资深医生的计划，这些医生的工作超出了其角色的预期标准。DA 计划是苏格兰的平行等效计划。参与者——2019 年所有获得卓越奖的获得者。设计——这涉及对 2019 年完整的获奖数据集的二次分析。使用卡方检验进行统计分析，显著性水平设为 p<0.05。
排名前五的医学院（伦敦大学、格拉斯哥、爱丁堡、阿伯丁和牛津）负责 2019 年 LMC 卓越奖获得者的 68.4%。97.9%的 LMC 卓越奖获得者来自欧洲医学院，而 90.9%的非 LMC 奖获得者来自欧洲医学院。获得 A+或白金奖的 LMC 来自六所医学院：阿伯丁、爱丁堡、伦敦大学、牛津、谢菲尔德和南安普顿。相比之下，B 或银/ bronze 级别的 LMC 奖获得者则来自 13 所医学院。
大多数 LMC 卓越奖获得者仅来自五所大学医学院。所有获得 A+或白金奖的 LMC 都来自六所大学医学院。在那些获得国家卓越奖的 LMC 中，来自少数医学院的代表明显过多。
