Diabetes is a life changing condition for the almost 4 million people across England with the condition. It is complex, requiring careful self-management from people with diabetes and input from many different professionals across the NHS.

There is significant variation nationally, regionally and locally in the quality of care people with diabetes receive and the likelihood of experiencing a complication. It is vital that the NHS is set up to deliver high quality care, to improve the quality of life for people with diabetes and to reduce the financial burden on the NHS.

The sessions are focussed on practical issues, giving you the opportunity to hear about what has or hasn’t worked well in the past, what the challenges were and tips on overcoming them.
