NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme
NORTH EAST AND NORTH CUMBRIA INTEGRATED CARE SYSTEM EVENTS
More than 200,000 people are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes every year – and that means the risk of serious health complications and early death.
The Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme is a free programme for those who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. To find out more about the risks, and what those at risk of Diabetes can do to minimise these, we are holding a series of Lunch and Learn events to:
- Increase awareness of the support and services provided in relation to Diabetes Prevention through this programme
- Provide details of the programme including how to access this and how it supports those participating
- Provide an interactive question and answer session to further explore any questions about the programme
Who should attend:
GP’s and their clinical staff, Health Care Assistants and Health and Wellbeing practitioners, Hospital Trust clinicians, and other appropriate staff from Clinical Commissioning Groups, Local Authorities, Public Health Teams, and Community and Voluntary Sector Providers. To attend the event simply click on the appropriate Microsoft Teams Meeting invite on the date below. Please feel free to attend more than one event should you wish to do so.
Some events are aimed at different groups, but everyone is welcome to attend any or all events to find out more about how the overall programme works.
