Join our webinar, organised in collaboration with the Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation, to explore how stigma, socioeconomic factors, and health inequalities impact the lives of people with diabetes. This event will delve into various factors, including environmental, cultural, and linguistic barriers, to give you a more well rounded understanding of the challenges that we are facing to achieve effective community engagement.
This webinar provides a safe and supportive environment for healthcare professionals working in diabetes and related fields, as well as for individuals living with diabetes, to exchange information and share their experiences.
By attending, you will:
- Learn more about ethnic health inequalities, their complexity, and impact on quality of life for people with diabetes
- Understand how stigma and discrimination can impact mental and physical wellbeing and self-management of diabetes
We would like to thank our anonymous donor for their generous support enabling this platform for patient focused charities and free access to the Medicine and Me series.
