*Improving pregnancy outcomes in women with pre-existing or gestational diabetes

Thursday 4 December, 9.30am - 4.30pm

Church House Conference Centre,
Westminster,
London

Join an open space event to share ideas and discuss how we can successfully support a woman’s journey through pregnancy from the pre-conception through to postnatal phase.

One of the key priorities of the National Clinical Director for Diabetes, Dr Rowan Hillson, is to enable women with diabetes who are pregnant or likely to become pregnant to have the best chance of delivering a healthy baby.

Whilst progress has been made in improving services for women with diabetes and their babies, much more needs to be done in order to meet the standards set out in the Diabetes National Service Framework (NSF).
