We are looking for a family centred consultant paediatrician to take a leading role in our fantastic diabetes team in E Lancs. Our young people are really looking forward to taking part in the recruitment process 🙂 https://t.co/VXRWnSpuri.

Could you lead our wonderful CYP diabetes team in East Lancashire and work together with our families to provide an even better service? If so see below.

Whoever drew this is a genius 😊

Great work from our patients and the diabetes team who joined in the lockdown challenge with huge enthusiasm! @PaediatricsELH1 @Helen_C1978

Our Lockdown challenge has begun! The children's diabetes team and many of our patients are having a carbohydrate free day to check everyone's basal insulin rates. We are looking forward to seeing everyone's carb free creations!

Super proud of Paula from our children's community nursing team and Paula and Michelle from our paediatric diabetes team as Star Award Finalists. Really well deserved 👏 @PaediatricsELH1 @AngelaOToole3 @chrisga40

Very challenging set of charts from Dr Forsander at #NPDAConf2020 - in her unit (green on charts), average HbA1c of 50.7 two years after diagnosis; only 8% of children with a HbA1c over 64.

Our fabulous children’s diabetes team presenting their QI journey to the RCPCH Manchester QI collaborative. Wonderful enthusiasm and plans to continue the improvement journey! ⁦@ELHT_QI⁩ ⁦@CYPNWDiabNet⁩ ⁦@RCPCH_QICentral⁩

So important. Anyone who spots the signs should get help the same day and tell the healthcare provider about #T1D so that they can do the right checks straight away. @PaediatricsELH1 @ELHT_NHS @EastLancsCCG

This story still gets us every time 💛 🗣 Big shout out to all the amazing people testing their blood sugars, doing injections, wearing a pump and taking medication every day 💪🏽 #DiabetesWeek @diabetescouk @DiabetesUK

Great idea! @CYPNWDiabNet will be doing this with our @NPDA_RCPCH results at our September meeting to share our QI ideas. So many great projects to share @RCPCH_QICentral

✅❓New Quiz 6 -7❓✅ Can you share our 6-7 year old interactive quiz based on the #GoalsOfDiabetes and help lots of young people and adults 😁 With thanks to @LTHT_CYPD @CYPDiabNetwork 👉

Nice work @chrisga40! 🙌🏽 We've put together a slide deck for paediatric diabetes teams to adapt for presenting their 2017/18 data and planning further service improvements. We hope this helps teams to have similarly productive meetings!

Our fab ELHT CYP diabetes team beginning their QI journey in Manchester. Great to have such a motivated and committed group of clinicians keen to improve diabetes care. Already on schedule to complete action 1 by Tuesday! @CYPNWDiabNet @DrDamianRiley @ELHT_QI @RCPCH_QICentral

Great progress on @CYPNWDiabNet work plan at yesterdays planning event. Focus on reducing variation with shared pathways, education, learning from QI and greater unit collaboration. Thanks to all attendees for their input and enthusiasm! @RCPCH_QICentral @NPDA_RCPCH

Thanks to @FionaMCampbell3 for a brilliant session today on flash glucose monitoring to the @CYPNWDiabNet. Lots to take away to better support children, young people and families.

29,000 UK children live with #type1diabetes. #T1D affects 96% of all children with diabetes. It's not caused by lifestyle and there's no way to prevent it. #JDRF funds world leading research to treat, prevent and find a cure for #type1. https://t.co/de0EQ3m0KL #DiabetesAlertDay
