The past few years have seen advances in research that impact people with diabetes and kidney disease. This 6th joint conference of the ABCD UKKA will highlight recent research and the findings of long-awaited trials, such as STOP ACE. We will bring together renowned leaders in the field of diabetes related kidney disease to discuss current challenges, potential areas of intervention and new therapeutic opportunities. There is a real recognition now of the need to work as multidisciplinary and multi-professional teams to support people with multiple long-term conditions. The focus of this meeting is education and collaboration. The sessions will be focused and pragmatic to enable all of us to better care for people with diabetic kidney disease.
