Best practice in UK dermatology care celebrated at second national awards

The Quality in Care (QiC) Dermatology team and Sanofi hosted this year’s awards online on 8 November 2022, with participants tuning in from across the UK.

QiC Dermatology recognises initiatives that improve the quality of life for people living with skin disorders, as judged by the NHS, patients and industry.

The 2022 QiC Dermatology Awards also saw Dr Cedric Banfield from Peterborough win the Award for  Outstanding Services in Dermatology.

Debbie Woods, Country Medical Lead, Sanofi UK and Ireland said:
“We are extremely proud to support the Quality in Care Dermatology awards for the second year. The QiC awards programme provides a great opportunity to recognise, reward and share the inspirational work that has been done across the country and for us to show how much we value those individuals, teams, Trusts and the partnerships that strive to improve the quality of care and support provided to their patients.

“These awards are an important stage for great practice to be disseminated to a wider audience and to act as a trigger for service improvement or inspiration for new projects, which leads to overall improvement in patient outcomes.

“We congratulate all the winners and look forward to these projects being disseminated more widely for the ultimate benefit of people with skin conditions.”
