Live Debate

Visitors to DPC2017 will be invited to have their say on NHS funding of type 2 diabetes in the event’s Live Debate. Focusing on ‘Billions of £s and 10 per cent of the NHS budget spent on type 2 diabetes – where should we be investing our money?’, this year’s debate promises to be a lively and insightful session.
DPC2017’s expert panel will present their view from three angles – primary prevention, secondary prevention and pharmaceuticals. The panel will be chaired by Dr Mike Sadler, Clinical Non-Executive Director, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, and facilitated by Professor Sir Muir Gray, Director, Better Value Healthcare & Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The Live Debate will take place on Thursday, November 16, 12.05pm.
