Monogenic Diabetes Symposium: ‘Right diagnosis, right treatment’
The two-day seminar designed to help busy clinicians recognise and treat patients with MODY and other forms of monogenic diabetes
On Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th February 2016 the University of Exeter medical school will be hosting a Monogenic Diabetes Symposium. The two day programme will focus on the current practices and new developments in the management of monogenic diabetes, and will include plenary lectures on major topics delivered by Professor Andrew Hattersley and his team of international experts. Aimed at consultants, Specialist Registrar’s and experienced Diabetic Specialist Nurses as well as clinicians, the symposium will focus on key themes, with lectures complemented by separate small group based discussions. There will also be ample opportunity for interaction, networking and multi-disciplinary team development.
The symposium has been approved for CPD credits (12 hours) through the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom, category 1 (external).
