Professor Partha Kar OBE, National Specialty Advisor for Diabetes with NHS England, and Professor Ketan Dhatariya, Consultant in Diabetes and Endocrinology, will be among the keynote speakers hosting a session at the national conference.

Chairing the virtual event is Professor Gerry Rayman, Consultant Diabetologist and Clinical Lead for Diabetes GIRFT, East Suffolk & North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.

Emily Mayhew, The Diabetes Inpatient Forum Network Manager, said: “It is great to host the first national inpatient conference as it will provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to share best practice and discuss what the future of diabetes inpatient care will look like.

“The conference will allow the diabetes inpatient community to celebrate a landmark moment in the history of insulin with lots of engaging sessions from people at the forefront of diabetes inpatient care.”

Other keynote speakers at the national event include June James, Independent Nurse Consultant and Co-Chair of Trend Diabetes, Dr Mayank Patel, Consultant in Diabetes and Acute Medicine and Erwin Castro, Diabetes Nurse Consultant and Chair of the Diabetes Inpatient Specialist Nurse Group UK.
