13 & 14 May 2010

At Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh

This two day UK Consensus Conference has been convened by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in association with the Royal College of General Practitioners (Scotland), Diabetes UK, Association of British Clinical Diabetologists and Primary Care Diabetes Society.

Diabetes care is a growing, evidence-based subject that involves many members of society and all areas of healthcare. A number of national and international guidelines have collated the evidence to assist care providers and patients in the successful management of this complex disorder. Using the benefits of all the published work the multidisciplinary panel will aim to address the following five key questions, which are of particular relevant to practising clinicians, from the written and oral presentations, abstracts and interactive discussion sessions:-

• Who can prevent diabetes?
• What are the practical implications of developments in genetics?
• Which psychological interventions work?
• What are Metformin – who cares?
• What are the best models of care for children and adolescents?

The conference will appeal to a wide range of health care workers from primary and secondary care, those in training and those affected by diabetes. Please join us for an educational, high-quality and practically useful conference.
