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.
We are seeking nominations and inviting applications from members to stand for election for the position of ABCD Honorary Meetings Secretary.
What’s involved?
The meetings secretary is a critical role in the organisation with responsibility for delivering the educational programme for digital and in-person events and the lifelong learning programme for ABCD members from SpRs to Consultant and beyond.
We are seeking to recruit new members to the ABCD Committee. All members of ABCD are eligible for application and should be proposed and seconded by other current members of ABCD. Proposals should take the form of an application stating the names of the proposer and seconder, with an accompanying statement of no more than 150 words outlining the contribution the applicant has made or will make to ABCD, and the basis on which they wish to stand for the post.
The ABCD Inspire Podcast Series is back! Joining our host Dr Petra Hanson this time is Professor Pratik Choudhary, Professor of Diabetes at the University of Leicester and Honorary Consultant in Diabetes at Leicester Diabetes Centre.
Tune in to learn about Pratik's work in hypoglycaemia, the use of technology in diabetes and education (DAFNEplus).
The insightful discussion covers research and International Medical Graduates, the importance of being open to new opportunities, and the challenges of being a clinician and a researcher.
The conference has been instigated and organised by ABCD. Sponsors have contributed funding towards this event in return for exhibition space. They have had no input into the agenda or the selection of speakers with the exception of any sponsored symposia which are clearly indicated.
