Healthcare professionals involved in diabetes nursing can now register for one of three conferences dedicated to the subject in June.
Trend Diabetes is delighted to announce that its annual conference is expanding this year as it prepares to host the event at three venues for the first time.
Entitled ‘Diabetes: Does your sex matter?’, the face-to-face conferences will first take place on Friday, June 9, at the Thistle Hotel Marble Arch in London, on Friday, June 16, at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham and then again on Friday, June 23, at the Hilton in Newcastle.
All the events will include the same content and aim to support diabetes healthcare professionals by sharing best practice, innovations and real-life experience.
Each event will feature world-renowned speakers with unique presentations on hot topics.
The conferences are free to attend, with spaces expected to fill up quickly due to limited capacity at each venue.
Delegates are advised to not register for all the events as the same programme is run at each location. Additionally, they are asked to not block book tickets, so just one booking per person.
If you are unable to attend the conference once registered, please cancel your booking as places are limited. To ensure you are able to book for the 2024 conference please give two weeks’ notice if you are unable to attend this year.
