Suraiya Chowdhury, Leadership Programme Manager at Diabetes UK, said: “This course will enable clinicians to develop the skills needed to drive transformational change in diabetes care, and spread improvement beyond the consultation room and across practices. The programme will also be an opportunity for clinicians to identify both barriers and solutions to improving care, and network with colleagues from across the country.”
A programme participant said: “Thank you for a really inspiring course – gained so much from both individual and team perspective and feel empowered to deliver what I know I have the energy for.”
