This conference reached capacity in 2024 and with last year’s attendees ‘looking forward to attending next year’, it was vital to book and secure your place early.
This comprehensive conference was yet again, packed with wide ranging expert experiences, a variety of current topics and described as an ‘absolutely brilliant’ networking opportunity. Those in attendance benefitted from reviewing up-to-date evidence, delving into practical discussions and sharing knowledge to implement into clinical practice. We were delighted to welcoming these attendees in 2025 for a wonderful, varied day of high quality, relevant information and updates for current practices in diabetes pregnancy.
