Event for healthcare professionals supporting people with diabetes from Black populations
The Diabetes Africa 2024 UK Forum will be held at Coin Street Conference Centre in London on 28th November.
The Diabetes Africa UK Forum will provide an opportunity for healthcare professionals and organisations to improve diabetes and related condition outcomes for people of Black, Black African, and Black Caribbean heritage in the UK.
The 'Advancing Equity in Diabetes Care for Black Populations' event is designed for health and care professionals, policymakers, researchers, and community leaders to meet with one another.
The event takes place on Thursday, 28th November from 8:30am to 5pm at Coin Street Conference Centre, London, SE1 9NH.
A statement from Diabetes Africa said: “With a focus on closing the inequity gap, we continue to build on from last year’s event where we explored how we can close the gap in diabetes inequalities in Black populations within the UK.
“This unique gathering of health and care professionals, policymakers, researchers, and community leaders aims to share knowledge and insights to bridge gaps and promote health equity in diabetes care for Black populations.”
Presentations at the event will focus on activities happening around the UK, with discussion on how to upskill, and work together to improve equity in access to healthcare and diabetes technology.
Among speakers at the event include Dr Clare Hambling, National Clinical Director for Diabetes and Obesity on NHS England Horizons of Diabetes in the NHS; and Professor Partha Kar, Type 1 Diabetes and Technology Lead for NHS England on Equity vs Equality – application in diabetes for UK Black populations.
