Research Grant applications invited

Now in its fourth year, we are delighted to re-advertise the clinical grant funding scheme from The Diabetes Care Trust and The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists for 2024.

Applications are invited from ABCD Members for high quality clinically based studies costing up to £50,000 relating to the management and care of people with diabetes. Applicants should be in the early stages of their career.

Oral semaglutide now available again – please contribute to the ABCD oral semaglutide audit

Oral semaglutide is available to prescribe again and is now effectively the only GLP-1 receptor agonist available.  So, this is an opportune time for ABCD members to contribute to the ABCD oral semaglutide audit.  As with all our audits, all contributors will be acknowledged in publications emanating from the audit and the biggest contributors will become co-authors.

Appointment of Dr Clare Hambling as the new National Clinical Director for Diabetes and Obesity

ABCD welcomes the appointment of Dr Clare Hambling as the new National Clinical Director for Diabetes and Obesity.

Professor Ketan Dhatariya (who is a fellow Norfolk resident) said:

“We are delighted that NHSE has chosen a primary care colleague to lead the development of diabetes services across England. I, and many other ABCD members, have worked with Clare in the past and of course, we have worked closely with NHSE and the previous NCDs over many years. As such we look forward to having a very fruitful collaborative partnership with Clare going forward.”
