Barnet Primary Care Hub are delighted to bring you a virtual education programme for specialists working in diabetes, and are pleased to invite you to the first six webinars for 2022.

This learning series will provide an in-depth view of how to effectively manage diabetes in primary care, helping you upskill your clinical knowledge in advance of the new QOF year.

The sessions will start from the fundamental principles all the way to effective pharmacotherapy and lifestyle changes, with a practical hands-on approach. 

Feel free to attend the entire series or pick and choose sessions that may interest you, however, they do build on the learnings of the previous ones.

The sessions will be presented by Arshna Sanghrajka, a Diabetes Clinical Pharmacist who has been delivering diabetes care for several years in both primary and secondary care across Barnet.
