Working with organisations in the healthcare, voluntary and life science sectors, QiC aims to raise awareness of quality, productive patient care for this condition that affects one out of every 20 adults in the UK.

Supported by Diabetes UK, NHS Diabetes and Sanofi, QiC Diabetes 2012 comprises both an awards event and subsequent opportunities for finalists to explain why their efforts were successful to a wider healthcare audience, including presenting at the Diabetes UK’s Annual Professional Conference.
