Dear All, we are organising a discussion club to unpick concepts that shape how we think about diabetes and diabetes care. We are planning to focus on a new topic every year and discuss it during five-six sessions on Friday mornings (9.15 UK time; dates tbc). It will involve preparing by reading suggested key texts; we plan to conclude with co-writing a short discussion piece.
Class of ‘24 topic: The origins of physical and mental health separation in diabetes. The proposed text for the first session is:
Holt, R. (2011), Undoing Descartes: integrating diabetes care for those with mental illness. Pract Diab Int, 28: 270-275. https://doi.org/10.1002/pdi.1613
If you would like to join us, we are looking forward to hearing from you.
