Thursday 26th - Friday 27th Novemer, 2026
For 27 years, this conference has brought together clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to improving diabetes care and tackling health inequalities. This November, we return to Birmingham for two engaging days at the National Conference Centre (NCC), focused on one of healthcare’s greatest modern challenges: complexity.
Taking place on 26th - 27th November, Managing Complexity: diabetes, multi-morbidity, frailty will explore the realities of caring for people living with diabetes alongside frailty, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and multiple long-term conditions.
The programme will feature expert speakers, clinical and policy updates, emerging research, and discussions on delivering more connected, personalised care. A particular focus this year will be on health inequalities and research relevant to South Asian populations living with diabetes and cardiometabolic disease.
The conference is for UK BASED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS ONLY
