Event Description
Join us for an essential educational event designed for General Practitioners, Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses and Prescribing Pharmacists as we unpack the most significant shift in type 2 diabetes management in over a decade. The recently updated NICE Diabetes Guidelines (NG28) move beyond a “glucose-centric” model to a strategy focused on cardiorenal protection and personalised care.
What to Expect
Our expert speaker will provide a comprehensive summary of the NICE Diabetes Guidelines (NG28) using real-world case studies to demonstrate how to implement these changes in your daily clinics. Key topics include:
The New First-Line Standard: Transitioning from metformin monotherapy to the early combination of metformin and SGLT2 inhibitors for most patients.
Advanced Therapies: Expanded access to GLP-1 receptor agonists and the formal inclusion of Tirzepatide for early-onset diabetes and obesity.
Specialist Pathways: Tailored management for frailty, early-onset type 2 diabetes (diagnosed under 40), and established cardiovascular disease.
This meeting is worth 2 revalidation credits.
