North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Integrated Care Board (ICB) are pleased to invite you to a Diabetes Summit taking place at The Durham Centre on Wednesday 11 November 2026 from 9.00am-1.30pm.
Hosted by Dr Alex Kent, Medical Director, this exciting summit will bring together clinical leaders, commissioners, digital experts and system partners from across NENC to explore how digital technology, population health data and innovation can be used to identify risk and support early intervention.
Our Diabetes Summit provides a great opportunity to bring together expertise from across the system to shape the future of diabetes care. By collaborating across organisational boundaries and sharing innovative approaches, we can develop practical solutions that will help improve outcomes for people living with diabetes across North East and North Cumbria.
We are delighted by the level of interest in the Diabetes Summit and want to ensure the event brings together a diverse range of perspectives from across our region.
