The West Midlands Diabetes Transformation and Sustainability Network will hold its inaugural meeting in September. The network aims to support the commissioning of high quality, outcomes focused and value for money diabetes services that support your local STP delivery.
The network brings together like minded people from across healthcare, local authorities, the third sector and other relevant stakeholders who are involved in the commissioning and delivery of services to prevent, care for and support patients with diabetes. This will provide a platform for active discussion and exchange of idea to deliver diabetes prevention and management in a more integrated way.
The conference will be chaired by Professor Ian Macdonald – Head of School of Life Sciences and Professor of Metabolic Physiology, University of Nottingham on Tuesday 13th September 2017, with a focus on:
