  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Doctors is a British medical soap opera which began broadcasting on BBC One on 26 March 2000.[1] Set in the fictional Midlands town of Letherbridge, defined as being in the city of Birmingham, the soap follows the lives of the staff of both a NHS Doctor's surgery and a University Campus Surgery, as well as their families and friends. The series has been nominated for and won a variety of different awards.

In 2003, Doctors was nominated for Best British Soap at the British Soap Awards for the first time, where it has been nominated annually since. The next year, Doctors won their first award at the British Soap Awards, when they won Best Single Episode for "Say A Little Prayer". At the 2009 British Soap Awards, Vivien's (Anita Carey) rape plot won the award for Best Storyline; Carey also won the award for Best Female Dramatic Performance for her involvement in the storyline. The storyline was nominated again at the 2018 ceremony in the category of Greatest Moment. Also at the 2018 British Soap Awards, Doctors won a shared award with fellow BBC soap EastEnders. Both soaps won the award for Scene of the Year; this marked the first time two soaps have won a singular award.

Since 2018, Doctors has been nominated for Best Daytime Soap at the Digital Spy Reader Awards; it won for the first time in 2022, ending Neighbours' five-year winning streak.[2] It is also nominated annually at the Inside Soap Awards. Lorna Laidlaw won the award for Best Daytime Star for her role as Mrs Tembe in 2017, while the soap itself won Best Daytime Soap the following year. Chris Walker became the next cast member to win the accolade in 2023, for his portrayal of Rob Hollins. The soap also receives annual longlist nominations from the National Television Awards, with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh having received two nominations for her role as Zara Carmichael. At the RTS Midlands Awards, Dido Miles has won the award for Acting Performance of the Year for her portrayal of Emma Reid twice, in 2013 and 2017. Doctors has also won the Drama award three times at the ceremony. The Writers' Guild of Great Britain has also awarded the soap twice within the Best Long Running TV Series category.

On 18 October 2023, the BBC has announced that it would end production of Doctors after more than 23 years on air and the final episode will air on 14 November 2024.
