The Burton Diabetes UK Group are once again holding their Annual Public Event and the topic this year is: Diabetes – I’m in Charge! Speakers include Dr Ruth Chambers, OBE, who is an honorary professor at Keele University, and visiting professor at Staffordshire University as well as being Staffordshire’s clinical lead for technology-enabled care services programme. She is joined by British Paralympic swimmer Jonathan Fox, MBE, who won gold at the London 2012 Paralympics but was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2018. In addition, there will be an Expert Patient Panel and some chair-based exercise, too, along with a small exhibition. The free event takes place 18 June, 5.30-9pm at the Burton Albion Pirelli Stadium, Burton on Trent. DiabetesUK/Burton
