Event Details

With the limitations and uncertainty still surrounding COVID we have unfortunately had to put our much loved and popular DM Conference on hold for another year BUT we are thrilled to offer you an online amalgamation of key bite size learning centred on Diabetes delivered by leaders in the field on July 5th, 2022.

Professor Partha KarThe Evidence of COVID 19 around Diabetes

Many of you will know Professor Partha Kar who will be joining us on the day to discuss the evidence of COVID 19 around Diabetes.  A legend in the field of Diabetes, he has been integral to the development of strategies to improve patient care and education among health care professionals looking after patients with Diabetes.  He was awarded an OBE in the New Year’s Honours list for his services to Diabetes Care last year.

His column in the BMJ is always one of the first I skip to, and I know many of you will have enjoyed his podcasts over the years.

Dr Patrick Holmes (GPwSI Diabetes) also a keen educator will be taking a closer look at CKD in Diabetes and Dr David Strain a senior lecturer at the University of Exeter and Care of the Elderly Consultant will focus on Diabetes and frailty.  Older patients in the community can often be the most challenging and Dr Strain will discuss individualising treatment in this older more vulnerable group of patients.
