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
