Breakthrough T1D Discovery Day: Scotland

Exciting news: JDRF has now rebranded to Breakthrough T1D. Our name has changed, our mission has not. .

Join us on Saturday 29 March from 9.30-3.00pm for an informative event dedicated to exploring the world of type 1 diabetes and connecting with the T1D community!

Discover the latest developments in T1D research and technology, hear from experts in the field and connect with others living with T1D. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with T1D for years, this event is designed to provide valuable insights, support and inspiration.

This is a family-friendly day, open to families and individuals affected by T1D along with health care professionals. For families, entertainment is provided for primary school-aged children, while teenagers and adults can participate in dedicated peer support workshops where they can meet new people and share experiences.

We look forward to a day filled with education, empowerment and community and can't wait to see you there.
