The leading CPD accredited conference and exhibition, Diabetes Professional Care 2016, has announced its speaker line-up for this year. The two-day event takes place on 16 and 17 of November at London’s Olympia and will include keynote presentations from NHS England and the Diabetes Think Tank.

Karen Richardson, conference director at Diabetes Professional Care 2016 comments: “After the huge success of last year’s conference programme, we wanted to make sure we kept the momentum going for 2016. We will host a multi-stream programme, covering the full diabetes spectrum from technologies, diagnostics and prevention to commissioning, pediatrics and primary & secondary care.”

The first keynote session will be presented by Jonathan Valabhji, national clinical director for obesity and diabetes at NHS England and Dr Partha Kar, associate national clinical director for diabetes at NHS England. Valabhji will discuss ‘Diabetes and the NHS in England in November 2016’ while Kar will conclude by looking at ‘The art of the possible’.

Other sessions include a discussion held by director of strategic systems at NHS England, Beverly Bryant, on how new technologies are going to change the face of diabetes. Samantha Jones, director, New Models of Care at NHS England will also be presenting on day one, analysing new models of care in diabetes, whilst Pauline Latham MP, Chair of the Diabetes Think Tank will feature in the afternoon session on day two.
