Due to the ongoing pandemic, we still can't hold face-to-face events. But we know there is still a need and interest for engaging and learning with others, so we have been holding a series of virtual events.
Below you will find a list of the events we have organised so far. Please take a look and book onto the events that interest you. All events will be via Zoom.
If you are unfamiliar with Zoom and would like some support on how it works then please let us know. One of the team would be happy to talk you through it. It is very easy to use, even for a new internet user. To arrange for someone to call you, please email us at SECandLondon@diabetes.org.uk.
To register for an event, follow the link under your desired event. This will take you to the sign-up website where you can start the booking process.
We hope to see you at one or more of the events.
