Scottish Junior Diabetes Forum: 17th - 18th November 2006

Scottish Junior Diabetes Forum

17th and 18th November 2006
Hilton Dunkeld House Hotel


Dear Colleague

We would like to cordially invite you to the Scottish Junior Diabetes Forum on the 17th and 18th of November 2006. The venue is the Hilton Dunkeld House Hotel in Perthshire. The meeting will begin on Friday evening with a presentation from an esteemed Scottish consultant followed by dinner and some good old fashioned networking.

On Saturday morning following breakfast there will be the ‘scientific sessions’ with short presentations from researchers in diabetes and endocrinology. There is a prize, as ever, for the best talk! The aim this year is to try and encourage as many people to attend as possible; especially those out with a 10 mile radius of the Clyde! In addition to Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow we are extending the invitation to Newcastle who are customarily invited to other Scottish University and Academic events! We would therefore be delighted to receive abstracts for short oral communications (10 minutes) at the meeting and these should be submitted to Fraser Gibb by October the 1st 2006 to the email address above. They should be no more than 1 side of A4 in length so we can prepare the abstract book. We will be looking to include 10 presentations to maximize the academic and educational aspect of the meeting.

We would be grateful if you could give a provisional yes or no by 1st of September 2006 and a definite answer by the 29th of September 2006 so that we may alert the Hilton! Places will be limited, by the size of the venue and as the invitation has extended to Newcastle delegates providing definite plans to attend and present will be given precedence. This meeting is sponsored by Pfizer once more this year who are now over 5 years into sponsoring and sustaining the Scottish Junior Diabetes Forum. Our list of contacts and email addresses especially from centers out with Fife may well be incomplete and I would be glad to hear of other clinicians in diabetes and endocrinology who would be interested in attending.

With best wishes,

Fraser Gibb
Specialist Registrar, Endocrinology & Diabetes
Victoria General Hospital, Fife
