NRDSAG & Audit Meeting: 16th Oct 2007

Just to remind everyone that the next Northern Region Diabetes Service Advisory Group is this Tuesday 16^th October at 1pm at Lumley Castle (lunch 12.30).
It looks like it will be a really interesting and stimulating meeting as there are a lot of hot issues to discuss and debate (see programme below).
I have also put together another Diabetes Information Review, based on the Healthcare Commission Service Review (attached). I would be really interested in your thoughts and ideas about this.
The Diabetes Audit meeting follows on at 2.30 and I attach the programme for that as well. (A reminder for the SpRs – the NRDSAG meeting is open to you and very relevant for your training – please come to both!).
The NRDSAG distribution list is still very short of representation from primary care, particularly with the sadly ever-changing network personnel, so please, please forward this on to anyone you feel appropriate, especially lead GP’s or Practice nurses in your area and other key people. Ask them to let me know if they wish me to include them in the distribution list in the future.

Looking forward to Tuesday

All the best

Simon
