For the first time, our national Diabetes National Networking Forum is coming to Wales.


Discover the latest technologies and advances in diabetes management, all brought to life by expert presenters and dedicated industry partner showcases. This inspiring and motivating educational NHS forum will enable participants to share and learn from other healthcare professional colleagues’ experiences of diabetes care across Wales, with plenty of time for honest discussion, practical take-aways and networking around what’s working locally and what needs to change next.


We are delighted to launch this event, building on the success of our national networking forums held across England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland over the last 12 years.
