A networking forum which was packed full of engaging presentations, relevant, empathetic speakers and unique networking opportunities.
NHS diabetes professionals were taken on an educational journey from technology advances to insulin choices and the behavioural patterns of women with diabetes during pregnancy at this national, face-to-face forum which was not to be missed. Those who attended benefitted from shared best practice, expert teaching and invaluable updates.
With thanks to our industry partners:
