We’d like to extend Juan Carlos Quijano-Campos a huge congratulations for winning two awards in 2024 for his work, which focuses on the impact of cardiac sarcoidosis on quality of life, including physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing.

Last year, Juan won the Investigator Award for Nursing and Allied Professions from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the Oral Poster Presentation at the World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomas (WASOG) conference.

We were delighted to see his work on cardiac sarcoidosis recognised at this international scale and look forward to being able to share more about his research!

Juan recently completed his training to become the first advanced clinical practitioner nurse for cardiac sarcoidosis in the UK. He said:

“I am truly honoured to receive these prestigious awards and grateful to be recognised in this way. I am thankful to the patients who participated in this study, the continuous support from my clinical colleagues and academic collaborators, and a special mention to Prof Julie Sanders and Dr Neha Sekhri for their invaluable roles as my primary PhD supervisors. I also appreciate Dr Muhunthan Thillai for his contribution as the external PhD supervisor.” 

He also presented three posters at the 2024 European Respiratory Society (ERS):
