Talking About Diabetes

Following the success of and overwhelming response to last year’s event, we will be hosting the second Talking About Diabetes (TAD) event on Saturday 22 April 2017. Please join us for a series of inspirational and empowering talks at the TAD 2017 event. Here you will have the chance to engage with several high profile speakers whose lives have been impacted by type 1 diabetes (T1D) and hear first-hand, the challenges and successes they have experienced. This day is for anyone who wants to learn more about the achievements of others with T1D and be confident that the condition is not a barrier to great success. For families, each family member must be registered individually. Once registration is completed you will receive an email confirming your place.

The day will consist of six, 25 minute presentations with lunch provided at around midday. Each presentation will last for 15 minutes followed by a 10 minute Q+A session before the next presentation begins.

In addition to this, there will be a couple of new TADpole activities this year designed for our younger attendees, aged 8-12 yrs. There will be an active TADpole session at 11:45 run by Gavin Griffiths and a TADpole Q&A at 13:50 with Gavin Griffiths and a Team Novo Nordisk Rider. Please note, there are only 20 places for children to attend these sessions.

If you are interested in registering a child for the TADpole activities please email talkingaboutdiabetes@gmail.com as places are limited. There will be a helpers present to manage these activities however parents are also welcome if they wish to attend.
