Aimed at the clinical negligence practitioner which includes those people working in clinical governance, policy and patient safety groups.
Many people with diabetes have multiple and complex health problems and, with this significant risk in mind, the potential delay or missed diagnosis of the patient can have serious consequences. This conference looks at the condition in detail, types of diabetes, risk factors and complications of treatment, co-morbidity, including gestational diabetes, cardiac complications, peripheral vascular disease and diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy.
The impact of diabetes on causation arguments will also be discussed highlighting how the condition affects the way the clinical negligence practitioner looks at injuries.
