Dinner with the diabetes team of the year!

A successful celebration of good practice.

It was great to meet Dr Julie Edge and the Oxfordshire Paediatric Diabetes Team at the BMJ Awards recently. They were recognised for their work with primary schools overcoming the many barriers to diabetes care. Julie has recently published a review in Practical Diabetes covering some of the issues. (1)

Matthew Billingsley and I managed to record a short interview with the team where they explained what their programme had achieved.
