Turning the ''o'' from #gbdoc (great britain diabetes online community ) into a real life, face to face offline one ! Keep watching this space for all the latest diabetes events in the UK where you can meet members of your local community and also see presentations where you can learn more about latest research, technology or the NHS ! Everything from small local nhs support groups or informal pub meetings to really large industry events or large charity fundraising I aim to collect them all on here !
I will personally do my best to keep you updated on events that happen in London (this is where I am based and where I will find out first about events and meetups) but I could really use your help to keep growing this list to include as many events as possible throughout the UK and have it all in one place ! So please DM me if you are going to an event or planning to organise one in your area !
I will also like to keep this as a record to all the beautiful things the community has built together so we can perhaps look back at the end of the year and know what to expect for time to come ! Also make sure to follow the organisers of these meetups and events as that way you will be most up to date with any new events! Also I added a * to events I will be attending so please come and say Hi! I would love to meet you all !
Keep scrolling down to find your city or nearby events, under each city you will find the latest events sorted by month towards the top ! Smaller cities where I could only find one event happening can be found under ''OTHER UK ''at the bottom of the page; you can also press control +f to open up a search window and type in your city.
Also at towards the bottom of the list we have a ''OTHER EUROPE'' section with some of the big events that happen outside of the UK but might still be worth a flight for enthusiasts!
Links to tickets or further details will also be available if you click onto the highlighted event title ! I also added links to some of the organisers like facebook groups e where you can join and follow them too you can find events by organiser on eventbrite links at the bottom of the page.
