Closing date approaching to vote for your inspiring diabetes healthcare professionals in the Quality in Care Diabetes awards

Vote before Friday, 2nd July.

The 11th Quality in Care Diabetes awards will recognise and celebrate the exceptional work undertaken by healthcare professionals during the unprecedented pressure of Covid-19.

Since 2011 the Quality in Care Diabetes awards have been recognising, rewarding and sharing initiatives that improve the quality of life for people living with diabetes.

Entries for inspirational healthcare professionals are invited from anyone working in the diabetes arena throughout the UK and Ireland.

The closing date for entries is Friday, 2nd July.

DRWF is proud to be a support partner for the QiC Diabetes Awards.

Sarah Tutton, DRWF Chief Executive, said: “These awards provide a truly collaborative environment within which to share information and innovation in care delivery. We are delighted to support the QiC Diabetes programme and share in this recognition of achievement of inspiring and dedicated people. Even more so given the unwavering efforts that everyone worked under during the pandemic period to ensure that people with diabetes continued to receive the best quality care and support.”

The Quality in Care Diabetes awards provide a great opportunity to win one of the prestigious awards this year and have your work shared and disseminated to a wider healthcare setting.

The judging day will take place on Tuesday, 7th September and the QiC Diabetes 2021 Awards presentation will take place on Thursday, 14th October.

The full list of categories, judging and entry information is available here.

This year’s awards include a series of new innovations to share for 2021.

There are two exciting new categories to vote on:

• Equality and Diversity – Reducing Variation of Care and Outcomes particularly as it relates to Socioeconomic, Cultural or Racial Determinants
• Diabetes Collaborative Project of the Year

A new online entry portal will streamline entering, making the whole process much simpler for you – the entrants. This will enable complete control of your entries, changes to be made up to the deadline date (no more having to re- submit via email), clear instructions on what you need to include in your entry/entries and auto-confirmation that your entries have been received.

The judging criteria and entry format for the QiC Diabetes 2021 awards have been completely changed and more clearly reflect the criteria that the judges will be looking for.
