Type 1 Diabetes Opinion Leaders Group
The Endocrine Society
of Australia is being represented by A/Prof Maarten Kamp on the newly-formed
Type 1 Diabetes Opinion Leaders Group. Outcomes for people with Type
1 diabetes remain poor, and the group hopes to draw attention to this
less prevalent but highly complex type
of diabetes as well as inform future service development and policy
initiatives by publishing a consensus statement of issues affecting Australians
with
Type 1 diabetes.
Submissions towards the issues statement are invited from health professionals, people affected by Type 1 diabetes and others.
Submissions can be made
up until 30 June 2008 by visiting: www.d1.org.au/issues_submission.html
The Type 1 Diabetes Network, a consumer-led health promotion charity,
has convened the group and is hosting a collaborative process to develop
the statement of issues, which will be launched at the joint diabetes
health professionals’ conferences (ADEA/ADS) in August 2008.

ENDO 2009 - suggestions invited
As we head off to San Francisco very shortly to attend US
Endo 2008 (15-18 June 08),
it is timely to remind you that the planning for Endo 2009 starts immediately
thereafter. There are 2 Australians on the Annual Meeting Steering Committee
which means that we have very good representation. After Endo 2008, I
invite you to give me suggestions for symposia and plenary speakers as
well as any other nominations you might have. The committee meets in
early August, when the next program and invitations are determined. So,
please you give some thought to this when you are in San Francisco at
Endo 2008 and send your ideas to me at gail.risbridger@med.monash.edu.au.
Remember
that nominations for the Society’s prizes are open to
all endocrinologists, including Australians.
Yours sincerely,
Gail Risbridger
