Come together with colleagues from across Scotland for an unmissable day of learning

In 2025 ‘Transforming Diabetes Care in Scotland National Networking Forum’ was held in Glasgow and was attended by over 100 healthcare professionals:

For 15 years, SBK has been delivering Diabetes National Networking Forums, bringing together professionals for high-quality education, networking and national updates across England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. 

Hear from past year’s delegates who benefitted from expert-led sessions and dedicated networking time: 

"One of the best organised events I’ve attended, the events team had 5 staff on the day, directing and checking in with all the sponsors. Lots of delegates across both adults and paediatric disciplines. A constant stream of interaction at break and lunch times. Valuable insights learned when able to join delegates during training workshops. Very slick!"

- Mylife Diabetescare, Optimising Hybrid Closed Loop Systems: Training Workshops, Bristol 2025
