Diabetes care goes under spotlight
A DAY of talks and workshops about diabetes will be held in Newmarket for GPs, nurses, patients and charity workers.
The event will take place on Wednesday, February 22, at Tattersalls and aims to improve care and services for those living with diabetes in the East of England.
Diabetes UK has organised the event, which will provide education and skills to health care professionals, as well as debates about upcoming changes in NHS services.
Sharon Tillbrook, of Diabetes UK, said: “We think it’s very important to get everyone together to discuss the services received by those living with diabetes, especially in such a period of change for the NHS.
“The day will also help educate the health care professionals in attendance and will give them new skills and knowledge, which are sure to help improve diabetes care in the region.
“An element of education is something that we were very keen to incorporate into this event.
Speakers will include Dr Martin Hadley-Brown, chairman of the Primary Care Diabetes Society, Dr Rosemary Temple, consultant diabetologist at Norwich Hospital, and Dr Carlo Acerini, consultant paediatric diabetologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.
