Young Diabetologists Forum Survey

Dear Colleague,

I would like to take this opportunity to once again ask you to complete the online survey for Diabetes SpRs. The web link for this survey is: here (Username & Password: see your email or contact Dr Partha Kar)

So far we have had about 30% of all SpRs in the UK responding and a big thank you to all those who have taken the time to do so (please deactivate your pop-up blocker, as some browsers may otherwise prevent you from accessing the survey).

We have been asked to present this survey at the Annual Professional Conference of Diabetes UK in Glasgow on the 14th March during the “Consultants and SpRs” session (scheduled time 11:50 am).

As you might know, this is so far the only SpR survey which tries to highlight anxieties amongst trainees regarding training, job prospects, changing face of diabetes- and thus the more the numbers, the more powerful the message will be. Thus, apart from asking you to contribute to the survey, I would also encourage attendees of the Conference to be at this session to contribute to the debate.

For the record, this survey is being supported by both Diabetes UK and ABCD.

If you have any difficulties about this or have any questions, please contact me at Dr Partha Kar

Thanking you all in anticipation and hope to meet you all soon!

Regards

Dr Partha Kar (Chair)
On behalf of the YDF Committee
