We are inviting colleagues to help us plan future JBDS documents by completing a short questionnaire.

Many thanks to everyone who has fed back already.

We would kindly ask you to participate in The ASK Study, a collaborative study of King's College London (UK) and Leeds Beckett University (UK).  

The ASK Study is an online questionnaire which explores beliefs about obesity, type 2 diabetes, their causes and the role and value of available treatments.  

The questionnaire takes approximately 15 minute to complete and does not require any identifiable personal information.  

We are inviting colleagues to submit entries to this year’s competition which will be for the:
