Diabetes and Endocrinology

This event has now finished, register to attend our next Diabetes and Endocrinology Symposium on 7 October 2020.

*A selection of talks from the 2019 Diabetes and Endocrinology Symposium are available to RCPE Fellows and Members on our Education Portal.

Overview

The symposium will appeal to endocrinologists, diabetologists, general physicians, GPs, doctors in training and students. It will provide updates on a variety of endocrinological and diabetic conditions encountered by clinicians. Along with excellent speakers on individualising care in diabetes, there is a session covering forensic aspects of hypoglycaemia, drug-induced endocrine dysfunction, phaeochromocytomas and new developments in osteoporosis.

The use of liothyronine in the management of patients with hypothyroidism remains controversial for many reasons. The debate “T3 or not T3, that is the question” will be contentious and thought-provoking.

The symposium promises to be informative and we look forward to seeing you there.
