A one day conference dedicated to learning and networking
Attended by over 70 people, 2024 saw the first dedicated face-to-face Paediatric Diabetes National Networking Forum in 5 years! Keen to build on that success, this best practice driven day was specifically crafted to bring Paediatric Diabetes Professionals together and drill into the detail of improving the management of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in children and young people.
Past attendee feedback
A really enjoyable day!Another well organised SBK event with very accommodating staff, Ingrid was especially helpful with laptop permissions for presenting. We like how the tables are mixed up with attendees, all are given table numbers on badges on arrival, preventing teams sitting together which helps with networking, and having speakers spread across the tables too.
