DiaTribe interviewed PSAD chair Jane Speight and Treasurer Debbie Cooke

The PSAD Science Award is granted to the first author of the best paper in the area of Psycho-Social aspects of Diabetes. Applications are welcome from all PSAD members who are working towards a doctoral degree (PhD) or have a doctoral degree (PhD) not older than 5 years (pro-rata). Application deadline: 30 August 2022.

Diabetes UK have opened a call for research applications that aim to better understand stigma experienced by people with diabetes. It also aims to identify strategies to reduce or prevent diabetes-related stigma. Application deadline: 30 Sept 2022.

Psychosocial research is critical to every aspect of diabetes care. RAPID is a novel conference to provide a space for collaborative working which will actively involve all stakeholders (including people living with diabetes, early and mid-career researchers, clinicians, senior academics, industry and policy makers).

Thank you for leadership, and all you have done to advance the psychosocial aspects of diabetes (in research and clinical care) and mentor a generation of researchers and health professionals. Congratulations to our founding Chair (1995-2004) on this well-deserved honour. Warm wishes from all your friends and colleagues at the PSAD.
