In anticipation of wider hybrid-closed loop (also known as artificial pancreas systems) use in the NHS and NHSE hybrid-closed loop pilot, ABCD DTN in collaboration with King's Health Partners will be offering a series of 3 live webinars. These will cover aspects relevant to healthcare professional using these novel systems in clinic.
Every year over 300,000 elective operations take place on people with diabetes. Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) has worked together with a small group of clinicians, made up of doctors, anaesthetists and a psychologist, to produce a leaflet for people with diabetes who are awaiting surgery. As you are no doubt aware the wait times for elective operations have increased considerably for many people due to the backlog caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the digital leaflet is to empower people to keep well with their diabetes whilst they wait for their operation.
