Attendees took their Hybrid Closed Loop learning to the next level by immersing themselves in interactive workshops to develop their knowledge and confidence in reviewing and advising on downloads.
Designed to provide diabetes secondary care HCPs with practical, real-world learning, the event also engaged participants with the most recent developments from industry. This stimulating day featured a variety of workshops focusing on key hot topics in the management of people using Hybrid Closed Loop systems for Type 1 diabetes. Each of the eight workshops was led by an expert in the field, who walked participants through case-study examples to improve their approach to optimising the technology and enhancing patient support.
