Supporting Residents with Diabetes: Essentials for Care Home Practice

Supporting Residents with Diabetes: Essentials for Care Home Practice

Date: Thursday 13th November 2025
Time: 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Venue: The Great Hall, Lanyon Building, Queen’s University Belfast

Join us at Queen’s University Belfast for an engaging workshop-style training event designed specifically for those working in care home settings. Timed just before World Diabetes Day, this interactive session will help you enhance your confidence and skills in supporting residents living with diabetes.

Whether you’re a registered nurse, care assistant, or part of a care home management team, you’ll gain practical education about:

• The foundations of diabetes – understanding types and risk factors
• Screening and diagnosis in older adults
• Management and monitoring in care home settings
• Recognising and preventing complications
• The psychosocial impact of diabetes on residents
• The value of interprofessional collaboration in effective diabetes care

This isn’t a conference — it’s a hands-on workshop, with round-table discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and opportunities to share experiences and best practices with colleagues across the sector.

Enjoy tea, coffee, and scones on arrival, and a complimentary lunch provided on site.

Places are free but limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis — early registration is advised!

👉 Register now to secure your place and join us in improving diabetes care for residents across Northern Ireland.
