Overview
The NPDA collects information on the care and outcomes of children and young people with diabetes across England, Wales, Jersey and the Isle of Man. The audit supports paediatric diabetes units to monitor performance, share learning and improve care quality and outcomes.
The NPDA Annual Conference is free to attend and open to all professionals and stakeholders involved in paediatric diabetes care and research. This includes paediatric diabetes multidisciplinary teams (consultants, nurses, dietitians, psychologists and administrators), regional network leads, commissioners, data analysts and representatives from patient organisations.
This event provides a great opportunity to explore the latest NPDA findings, share good practice, and hear from leading experts from the UK and internationally.
