Diabetic retinopathy is now screened with digital retinal photography, and referred directly to ophthalmologists with little involvement of the diabetologist in most regions. There is little opportunity to learn about retinal screening and grading during our training in diabetes, or learn about various treatments for diabetic eye disease. In most busy diabetes clinics, the diabetologists’ role is limited to asking whether or not patients have been for their eye screening.

The 2010 diabetes curriculum for trainees has been developed to include experience in community diabetes. However it is not known how accessible these opportunities are for trainees and in it is not clear if these opportunities are widely available. ABCD, CDC and the YDF are collaborating in an exercise that will define training opportunities in community diabetes for trainees throughout the UK. Please complete our online survey which takes only two minutes to complete. Please make sure you do this trainee survey if you are in training or this survey for consultants if you have landed that coveted position! |

The second YDF Research Day will be held in Edinburgh on the 17th of September. With speakers from the Medical Research Council and centers of excellence like Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh, we have put together a program designed to help you decide whether and how to go about diabetes/endocrine research. Current research fellows will also benefit from discussions on different research methods and post-doctoral research options.
