Hear and learn from a prestigious program of panellists at the Western Sydney Diabetes Masterclass 2023 series, starting Tuesday, 5 September at 7pm.
This is the fifth year of the series which targets GPs, pharmacists, diabetes educators, practice and community nurses, endocrinologists, dietitians, exercise physiologists, psychologists and podiatrists, to equip them with the skills to better manage type 2 diabetes.
The series is a collaboration between Western Sydney, South Western Sydney, Nepean Blue Mountains, Hunter New England LHDs and PHNs, Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Translational Research Unit, National Association of Diabetes Centres and the Agency of Clinical Innovation.
Another high quality and comprehensive series is expected, with seven weeks of a virtual program featuring expert guest speakers, interactive case studies and panel discussions each evening.
The virtual webcast series will run from 7pm to 8.30pm on Tuesday nights from 5 September to 7 November. Download the full program.
You can register at any time. Even if you registered last year, you must register again (here) this year.
SAVE THE DATE: A face-to-face session will be held on Saturday, 21 October, at the Parkroyal Parramatta. A separate registration link is still to come.
Masterclass co-ordinator and endocrine registrar, Dr Ummul Mahfuza, said diabetes was a significant burden of disease with multiple complications.
“Early recognition and management of diabetes can prevent or delay these complications and improve quality of life of our patients,” Dr Mahfuza said.
“We have carefully selected topical themes relevant to general practice in managing different aspects of diabetes and metabolic disease which will be delivered virtually as well as face-to-face.”
