Examples include participation in health technology appraisal meetings (NICE and SMC), presenting clinically validated information on our website, authoring publications, engaging with our 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.
