Dr Marc Moodley, Medical Head, Sanofi Genzyme UK and Ireland said:
“We have all been working in very challenging times recently so we are extremely proud to support the first Quality in Care Dermatology awards. The brand-new 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 who 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 act as a trigger for service improvement or inspiration for new projects which lead 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.”
QiC Dermatology recognises the extremely challenging situation with COVID-19 and the additional and immense pressure it is placing on the incredible and dedicated people that deliver care tirelessly in the NHS, HSC and other healthcare settings while under significant strain and extraordinary conditions.
