Diabetes Exchange Summit at The Royal Society, London
This summit took place on World Diabetes day, which is celebrated every year on the 14th November to engage people worldwide in diabetes advocacy and awareness. Barbara Young, the Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, reported some daunting figures:
She called for more effective health checks and intervention strategies and one of the discussion panels talked about how the NHS can implement preventive measures in the UK. There was also opportunity to hear about some of the succesful initiatives such as the Candem Diabetes Integrated Care Practice Unit. CCH will be developing a shortcourse, Living and Working with Diabetes, so look out for it on our website.
