Melanoma Focus Recertified By the Patient Information Forum

Melanoma Focus is pleased to announce that we have been recertified by the Patient Information Forum (PIF TICK), recognising our commitment to providing trusted, high-quality information for those affected by melanoma.  

PIF TICK is the UK’s only assessed quality mark for health information, helping people identify organisations that have demonstrated a commitment to producing reliable, evidence-based health information for patients. 

For Melanoma Focus, the reaccreditation reflects the importance we place on ensuring that melanoma patients and their support persons have access to information that they can trust, understand and rely upon.  

Why does PIF TICK matter?

A melanoma diagnosis can bring uncertainty and a huge amount of information to process. Many may have questions about their diagnosis, treatment, clinical trials, side effects, follow-up care or what living with melanoma means for them. 

Reliable patient information can play an important role in helping patients understand their diagnosis, prepare for conversations with their healthcare team and make informed decisions about their care and treatment.  

Melanoma Focus’ reaccreditation demonstrates our continued commitment to the quality of the information we produce and the processes behind it.  

Our resources are developed with the needs of those impacted by melanoma, drawing on evidence and specialist expertise to provide clear and accessible information.  

For healthcare professionals, our resources can also provide a trusted source of patient information to complement clinical conversations.
