Regional Champions

Regional champions host regional meetings across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland bringing ABCD expertise and knowledge to local regions, promoting the multidisciplinary education of diabetes healthcare professionals and sharing of best practice in the field.

These regional meetings will provide sponsors with an additional opportunity to make contact with healthcare professionals over and above our national meetings and bring in a different audience to ABCD. The initiative has the support of PCDS and DUK.

Benefits:

• Widens sphere of influence of ABCD
• Increases visibility of ABCD across the country
• Enhances reputation of ABCD
• Indirect contribution to good quality diabetes care by training the workforce delivering different aspect of diabetes care.
• Opens opportunities for ABCD to explore a multidisciplinary, multi-stream annual meeting
• In situations where the meetings are done virtually, the event can be hosted regionally but received world-wide.

Plan:

ABCD has developed well-established regional meetings providing high-quality education and a platform for discussion of regional issues. ABCD is always looking to enhance its regional activities and appoint more regional champions. Support for regional meetings (including financial) is available.
