I am delighted to announce the 3rd Annual National Conference for Intermediate Diabetes Care Teams - with a special focus on the role of GPSIs. Organised by the Primary Care Diabetes Society, it aims to provide a forum for debate among all parties involved in intermediate diabetes care - GPs, diabetologists, specialist and practice nurses and commissioners to name but a few - and examines how they can deliver high-quality clinical care within a world undergoing change and restructure. This year's programme highlights the day-to-day practical realities of intermediate diabetes care, and the clinical, organisational and political challenges they present. Last year, I welcomed over 150 of you to this event; I hope even more of you will join us this year.

Brian Karet, GPSI, Bradford and PCDS Committee Member
