Aiming for excellence in diabetes care

IDOP to partner with NHS Diabetes: The Midlands Regional Conference

In close partnership working, IDOP has been funded by NHS Diabetes to establish an English national network of Regional Champions, each supported by a dedicated Network Coordinator and Regional Working Group.

This is an exciting opportunity to increase the emphasis on high-quality diabetes care and to look at care pathway development and supporting local health priorities in older people with diabetes. The project will be managed by Julian Backhouse from NHS Diabetes and Professor Alan Sinclair will chair the National Steering Group which is overseeing the project. A number of key regional conferences are being planned for March 2012:

  • The Midlands Regional Conference is being held at the Arden Hotel  and Leisure Club, Coventry Road, Bickenhill, Solihull, B92 0EH on Monday 19th March, from 10.00 am until 5.00pm. For further details contact the Midlands Regional Coordinator, Binal Anandji: binal.diabetesopn@gmail.com
