Keynote Address
Simon O'Neill (confirmed)
Director of Health Intelligence and Professional Liaison, Diabetes UK
“Meeting the challenge”
The personal and economic costs of diabetes are huge and rising. Diabetes currently accounts for 10% of NHS spend and is the biggest single cause of amputation, stroke, blindness and kidney failure.
What is our way out of this state of crisis? What can all stakeholders from key policymakers to frontline health workers do to meet the challenge that diabetes presents to both the nation and the lives of individuals?

Professor Mike Kelly (confirmed)
Director, Centre for Public Health Excellence, NICE
“Prevention (Type 2) and early identification (Types 1 and 2)”
Roughly seven million people in the UK are at risk of developing diabetes. Every three minutes, one of them is diagnosed. However, intervention is not always prompt, and many people receive treatment only after presenting with serious associated conditions.
How can we best engage with the public to reduce the numbers of people 'at risk', to regularly and effectively check their health, to empower them to make informed decisions about their lifestyles, and to intervene appropriately and promptly at the earliest sign of problems? How can we ensure that those living with diabetes are given every chance to reach their potential to lead happy, healthy and active lives?

Grace Vanterpool MBE (confirmed)
Nurse Consultant in Diabetes, Ealing Community Services, Ealing Hospital NHS Trust; Member of the RCN Diabetes Nursing Forum Steering Committee
“Effective management: personalised care planning and self-management support”
Involving people in the management of their own care is essential for positive health outcomes. Without careful, continued management of their condition, people with diabetes can face a life expectancy cut short by up to 20 years. Patients should be recognised as the most important stakeholders in their health, and supported both medically and emotionally to navigate the challenges of managing their condition. As much as possible, their care plans should be personalised to maximise their ability and willingness to adhere to them.

Afternoon Keynote address
Adrian Sanders MP (confirmed)
Chair, All-Party Parliamentary Group for Diabetes
“The urgent need for a national implementation plan”
Though it has been over a decade since the Department of Health published the National Service Framework for Diabetes, Diabetes UK's State of the Nation 2012 report that shows the number of people who actually receive all nine of their recommended annual checks varies widely between 6% and 69%.
With an early day motion for a national implementation plan for diabetes requested last year, what is the vision and strategy for this new framework? How can we learn from failures in the uptake of the last framework to truly translate policy into a fairer deal for people with diabetes?

Dr Moira Harrison (confirmed)
Principal Lecturer in Diabetes, School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, University of Brighton
“The importance of technologies for improving control and reducing complications”
Plus special guest Treacle, the hypo-detecting dog
Advances in the quality and efficacy of blood glucose monitoring technologies in recent years have drastically improved the quality of life of millions of people with diabetes, increasing their control over their condition and reducing the risk of complications such as hypoglycaemia.
This talk will explore the future of diabetes technologies – including some unconventional but effective options.

Panel debate
“How should we tackle inequalities in diabetes risk and care provision?”
The most deprived people in the UK are 2.5 times more likely to have diabetes at any given age. There is also a postcode lottery, with huge variations in quality of care and diabetes-related complications from area to area.
How can we reduce rates of Type 2 diabetes, particularly for people from the most deprived households? In what ways can we develop more consistent standards of care, transforming pockets of 'best practice' into national 'standard practice'?
