    Jayne Noctor, Head of UCL AISC Medical Illustration Services, commented: "Within UCL AISC Medical Illustration we carry out numerous photographic, video and design services. Medical Photography and video is used to record the appearance of patient's conditions before, during and after their treatment, whilst the design and illustration element provides visual information for patients, researchers and medical publications.  All the staff work extremely hard to achieve the best quality where possible and this is reflected by AISC Medical Illustration winning the top photography and design awards at the Institute of medical Illustrators award ceremony. I feel that this is a national recognition of the high standards that we aim to achieve and I am very proud of all of my staff."

    The winners were announced at the 2010 IMI award ceremony.
