We would like to invite you to the 15th Northern Ireland Conference of the Primary Care Diabetes & Obesity Society (PCDO), taking place on 25 September 2025 in Belfast.
Organised by the PCDO Society, the only association solely committed to the needs of primary care diabetes, this conference will examine diabetes care from a Northern Irish perspective. Through a mixture of lectures and masterclasses, this event will provide practical guidance to healthcare professionals, focusing on those issues that have the most impact on everyday diabetes practice in Northern Ireland.
As the Northern Irish representatives of the PCDO Committee, we are delighted to be delivering an event that provides an invaluable opportunity for us to come together and discuss the real core issues in day-to-day diabetes care delivery in Northern Ireland.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
