The Diabetes UK Professional Conference is the only event of its kind in the UK run exclusively for healthcare professionals and scientists working in the field of diabetes. It is one of the largest healthcare conferences in the UK and provides delegates with a unique opportunity to:
- explore a variety of different aspects of diabetes
- hear from a wide range of inspiring speakers
- find out about the latest research
- share best practice and network with colleagues
- add towards continuing professional development (CPD) portfolios
What topics are covered in the conference programme?
The 2013 conference programme is currently being developed around topical themes such as:
- Diabetes and depression
- Micro vascular complications
- Stem cell and islet cell technology
- Diabetes prevention using lifestyle interventions
- Foetal re-programming
- Patient-centred care for young people with diabetes
- Examples of best practice
- Interactive workshops
Following on from delegate feedback in recent years, the programme will continue to build upon its basic and clinical science content which we hope will encourage scientists both young and experienced to attend. There will also be focussed days for paediatrics, podiatry, pregnancy and psychology.
The first draft version of the programme should be available to view at the end of July 2012 so please check the programme page here. Alternatively, you can register to receive updates to your inbox letting you know when the programme is online.
