Delivered in partnership with NHS England, Day 1 content will be released on Wednesday 17th and Day 2 will be released on Thursday 18th of May.

Live Q&A sessions with diabetes experts will run on both days of the course over Zoom from 18:00-19:00 BST. They will also be moderating the discussion boards and replying to comments directly on the site over the duration of the course. The site will close at 5pm on Monday the 22nd of May to allow people a bit of extra time to work through the content over the weekend.
