ABCD Yorkshire Regional Diabetes Event

A Multidisciplinary event for Diabetes Update
We work together and learn together

Free to attend for HCPs

This event is the second regional pilot after a very successful meeting in February 2018 in West Midlands. ABCD believes that learning together for all members of diabetes team is a way forward in this rapidly changing information base. The main aims of this meeting is to create an event which is open to and catered for all health care professionals in Diabetes who are involved in the delivery of diabetes care. ABCD believes that such an event is a move away from learning in Silos and provide a platform for lively interaction for topical issues in diabetes care.
