REGISTRATION FOR ABCD DIABETES UPDATE 2024 IS NOW CLOSED!
31st January - 2nd February 2024.
The Diabetes Update programme is a new initiative for trainees in diabetes and endocrinology. It aims to cover the diabetes section of the training curriculum for diabetes and endocrinology issued by the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board. It is also a great opportunity for more established clinicians to find out the latest updates in the area of diabetes.
ABCD has been working with the In-Patient Diabetes lead for Diabetes UK, Prof Gerry Rayman, and a group of Specialists in Diabetes to produce much needed guidance describing the maintenance and delivery of specialist diabetes services during COVID-19.
The document is intended for those involved in delivering and redesigning diabetes services in the light of this pandemic. It recognises the importance of maintaining certain elements of the diabetes service which will be essential in reducing the burden on hospitals and supporting inpatient teams.
Joining Dr Petra Hanson this time on the ABCD Inspire Podcast is Dr Alistair Lumb, Consultant in Diabetes at Oxford University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Chair of the Diabetes Technology Network UK and a member of the EXTOD (Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes) faculty.
Alistair shares his extensive work in diabetes care, focusing on technology, exercise, and patient support, and shares insights into his career journey, the importance of mentorship, and the challenges faced in balancing clinical and non-clinical responsibilities.

Following discussions with industry partners, we have been made aware of occasions where industry educators have been placed in unsafe situations. These include being asked to educate individuals who are high risk, without appropriate clinical support, without access to pump settings, and without a clearly documented clinical plan or follow-up pathway. This lack of structure creates risk for people with diabetes, both NHS and industry educators, and services.
