How to enter

Initiatives are invited from anyone working in the diabetes arena. Whatever the area of patient care, if your initiative or programme relates to diabetes in any way, you should enter it. Judges are keen to review a wide spectrum of entries and recognise the good practice that we know is out there.

We welcome initiatives and programmes that were launched between January 2008 and December 2012.

Take a look at the categories to decide which category is most appropriate for your entry. Please note that an initiative can be entered in one category only. However an entrant can submit multiple initiatives into the appropriate categories

Entries for certain categories are decided by nomination. Submit your choice for who should win the People's Award or Outstanding Educator in Diabetes.

 

Why should I enter?

If you are proud of the good work you are doing, help others by sharing your success and gain nationwide recognition for what you do.

How do I enter?

The entry process is simple so entering will not take up too much time.

What happens next?

Each initiative will be reviewed by a panel of high-level diabetes experts, chaired by Simon O'Neill, Director of Health Intelligence and Professional Liaison, Diabetes UK and two other chairs to be announced.

Finalists will be notified and then invited to hear the winners announced on October 10, 2013, at the QiC Diabetes Awards presentation at Sanofi's headquarters in Guildford.

At the Awards presentation, all of the top three finalists in each category, as well as the winner of the People's Award, will be presented with a certificate or a trophy.

Finalists will be featured in QiC Connect, an online knowledge hub packed full of examples of healthcare initiatives that have been successfully implemented by health providers and others.
