Summer Meeting

The Scottish Diabetes group supported a DENS meeting at the Beardmore Conference centre on the 3rd of June 2009. A total of 81 delegates, steering group members and speakers attended the event representing a wide range of health care professionals from primary care, secondary care and paediatric services as well as service users and managers.

Feedback from the day was very positive and a number of ideas for future meetings were generated.

During the day delegates were asked to consider the questions in the ‘Better Diabetes Care’ consultation document addressing structured education. It was agreed that a joint document of participant’s response to these questions would be drawn up on behalf of those attending and submitted by the DENS steering group.
