YOUNG DIABETOLOGIST FORUM (YDF)

Dr Emma Wilmot, who is currently working as a clinical research fellow in the Leicester Diabetes research team, will take over as chair of the YDF in March 2010. Emma has been a member of the YDF committee since 2005 and feels that the YDF plays a crucial role in the ongoing education of diabetes specialist trainees, delivering a range of free national educational events. The YDF also facilitates communication between diabetes trainees and national organisations: Diabetes UK, ABCD, SfE and the SAC. Over the next year it is Emma’s hope that the YDF will go from strength to strength continuing to deliver highly rated education events and continuing to communicate on issues important to trainees throughout the UK.
