This educational symposium is designed for Top End health professionals who are working with the impact of diabetes and its complications. It will review the latest management and preventative health programs, with a focus on remote communities.
It will explore risk factors such as social, cultural and psychological issues impacting the clinical management of people with diabetes and related chronic illness.
The symposium is also designed to promote engagement between local health care providers and educators and to expand awareness of evidence-based care, in an effort to reduce the ill health and mortality caused by diabetes and related complications.
