The annual campaign to raise awareness of hypoglycaemia in the UK by educating healthcare professionals will take place between Monday, October 3, and Sunday, October 9.
The theme for this year is optimum control and the autumn awareness drive is calling for the best possible control of diabetes to avoid hypos.
As well as the customary secondary care focus, primary care professionals are also invited to register as part of a wider campaign for 2016.
Participating hospitals and primary care organisations can register. They are then sent a link to an electronic pack of materials and encouraged to hold activities and training throughout the week.
A suite of materials is being created and will be placed on a dedicated website page - see HERE for more information. They will include posters, leaflets, guidelines, logos, screensavers, a press release template, as well as instructions to give participants ideas and tips on how to organise the week.
This programme is organised by Orange Juice Communications and has been made possible with sponsorship from Sanofi, the global life sciences company providing financial support for the campaign as part of its commitment to improve healthcare and support people with diabetes.
Register – To take part, email oliver.jelley@ojpr.co.uk. You’ll then receive regular information and updates as well as access to the online resource pack, once available or register at http://hypoawarenessweek.com/register/.
