Practical Hybrid Closed Loop optimisation for busy diabetes teams


This one-hour webinar is designed for healthcare professionals who support people using Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) systems. Led by an experienced Diabetes Specialist Nurse working in a busy NHS diabetes service, the session will focus on the real-world challenges clinicians face when reviewing downloads, interpreting data and making optimisation decisions.


Through practical case examples and a structured approach to reviewing downloads, attendees will learn practical optimisation techniques that can be applied immediately in clinic.

Key learning outcomes

A practical framework for HCL optimisation


Whether you are new to Hybrid Closed Loop therapy or looking to strengthen your confidence in reviewing downloads and making optimisation decisions, this webinar will provide practical take-home messages that can be immediately applied within clinical practice.


Key learning points:


  • Review HCL downloads using a structured optimisation approach
  • Recognise the key metrics that inform HCL optimisation decisions
  • Compare how leading HCL systems use algorithms to automate insulin delivery
  • Identify which pump settings can be adjusted and when these may require review
  • Understand which settings influence automated insulin delivery in different HCL systems—and which settings the algorithm manages automatically
  • Develop greater confidence in interpreting HCL data and identifying optimisation opportunities

Practical, data-driven learning

Helping you optimise HCL therapy more effectively


Presented by Lucy Walters, Diabetes Specialist Nurse and Independent Prescriber at Swansea Bay University Health Board, this highly practical webinar is based on approaches used within routine clinical practice to review and optimise Hybrid Closed Loop therapy.


During this webinar, you will have the opportunity to:


  • Follow a practical approach to reviewing and optimising HCL downloads
  • Explore real-world examples and common optimisation challenges
  • Compare optimisation approaches across leading HCL systems
  • Learn practical tips, troubleshooting strategies and safety considerations
  • Ask questions and gain insights from an experienced Diabetes Specialist Nurse
  • Access the webinar on-demand if you are unable to attend live

Why attend?

Practical optimisation strategies that can improve clinical outcomes


As Hybrid Closed Loop adoption increases, healthcare professionals are increasingly required to review downloads, troubleshoot challenges and support people to achieve the full benefits of automated insulin delivery systems.


This webinar will provide practical tools, structured approaches and real-world examples to help you interpret HCL data more effectively, understand how different systems operate and make informed optimisation decisions with greater confidence.


By attending, you will leave with a clearer understanding of how to review HCL downloads, identify optimisation opportunities and support improved glycaemic outcomes across a range of HCL systems.
