“Supporting care in diabetes, obesity and associated long-term conditions”
Since its creation in 2004, the PCDO Society has built a large membership of healthcare professionals working in primary care diabetes, run numerous highly successful educational conferences, played a role in the development of various toolkits and other healthcare initiatives, and worked in liaison with other professional groups and in lobbying politicians.
PCDO Society Committee posts are elected on a 3-yearly basis, with the cycles staggered across the representatives. The Committee is always interested to hear from Society members who are seeking to take a more active role, and one way in which this can be achieved is via membership of the Committee. Elected members generously give their own time. Much of the work is done by email, but there are typically four Committee meetings each year, usually held on Saturdays in Birmingham with preparatory meetings on the Friday evening.
