Melanoma UK believes it is vital to proactively use evidence in their advocacy work.
An increasing proportion of patients are highly sophisticated in their research and understanding of evidence, and Melanoma UK are matching this movement. Examples include participation in health technology appraisal meetings (NICE and SMC), presenting clinically validated information on their website, authoring publications, engaging with their own panel of medical experts, and supporting patient-centric initiatives.
Ultimately, all these initiatives are designed to benefit and support patients, which has been Melanoma UK’s mission since its foundation.
MISSION, VISION, VALUES
Melanoma UK’s challenge and desire is to give patients and their families much needed support during the very difficult times faced upon diagnosis.
