- Location Royal Society of Medicine
- Organised by Ophthalmology
This is an essential conference for anyone involved in diabetic eye screening since it provides insight into past, current and future changes. There will be key updates direct from the National Programme team with an opportunity to question them directly.
There will be expert insight and best shared practice which will enable all attendees to implement changes to their own programme which will benefit patients; particularly those in marginalised and diverse populations.
Our keynote speakers are world authorities and will provide expert insight on innovation as well as the psychosocial aspects of diabetes and will explain how they were able to overcome the challenges associated with the management of diabetes.
The primary aims of the meeting include:
- Outlining the current national updates pertaining to diabetic eye screening.
- Discussing the role of innovation and share best practice examples.
- Understanding the psychosocial aspects of diabetes.
