You will note that there are parallel sessions on both days – one with an Endocrine and one a Diabetes flavour, aimed at the broad range of health professionals within these specialities. We have been keen to select varied but highly topical areas, allowing the programme to cover aspects of hypothyroidism, autoimmune endocrine disease, the rarer forms of diabetes as well as developments in diabetes care with a focus on the practical aspects of management. We are also keen to encourage audience participation and so there is a ‘Meet the Expert’ session covering the management of hypogonadism and a debate about the role of psychology support in diabetes.
The main programme will be complemented by satellite symposia, covering topics that include Turner syndrome and bone.
The CME day on Wednesday 22nd November will also appeal to people from a variety of backgrounds with talks on glucose-related and non-glucose related areas of clinical practice.
We would like to thank you all for making the trip to the North-East and hope that you have an enjoyable few days in one of the UK’s great cities.
