This is our inaugural ABCD webinar, the first in a series.
Despite all the negatives from the emergence of the Covid-19 virus, it has forced us to work, think and communicate differently and never has team work been more important.
No one can have missed the sad headlines highlighting excess deaths of individuals in care home and disproportionate numbers having diabetes.
Over Alan’s talk “Care home diabetes: a continuing health & social care challenge” will not only consider the residents perspective but also that of care home staff, Primary care and the wider economic implications.
