Today we have launched our new, annual census of consultants in diabetes and endocrinology. This is being done on behalf of ABCD; SfE; Diabetes UK and The Royal College of Physicians London who are also project managing this census.

The data from this census is used to plan the future workforce of our specialty, identify current gaps, help colleagues in making justification of expanding their departments, show how hard we work outside our specialty both in General Internal Medicine but also related activities such as education and management.

Following the completion of the terms of office of a number of ABCD committee members and officers, we are now seeking nominations and inviting applications from members to stand for election for the following positions.
