Our Mission and Vision
Our mission
Our mission is two-fold:
- to enhance the quality of diabetes care for older people through new initiatives in clinical practice, audit, and research;
- to provide a forum for scientific interchange between health professionals and scientists, and involve people with diabetes and their carers and families, in educational programmes which directly promote their health and well-being.
Our vision
We will seek to establish sustainable academic links and partnerships with all key professional societies and organisations involved in diabetes care with an ultimate purpose of highlighting the special needs of older people with diabetes and ensuring that policies and strategies are developed to meet those needs.
We believe that IDOP will create a special role in supporting new developments in evidenced-based patient care through provision of timely clinical practice information, research evidence, and application of new technologies
