The winners of the inaugural DPC Industry Awards, in association with The Diabetes Times, were named at a ceremony on the first day of the leading healthcare professional conference.

It took place after day one of DPC2018 at Olympia London on the evening of Wednesday, November 14, which was World Diabetes Day.

The awards showcased success and innovation across the industry including pharmaceutical, medical device and life sciences industries working in diabetes care.

DPC founder Maggie Meer said: “Congratulations to all the companies and organisations, the awards are testament to their hard work, dedication, innovation and, more importantly, the life-changing difference they are making to people with diabetes.

“We launched the awards to recognise the crucial role played by industry in developing and providing products, services and research that enable people with diabetes to have better outcomes.”

Oliver Jelley, Editor of The Diabetes Times, said: “These awards are about celebrating the achievements, standards of excellence and commitment to quality and positive outcomes of the companies working in diabetes care. We were proud to be part of this positive initiative and congratulate all the winners for going above and beyond to improve diabetes care.”
