Following the success of the first Irish Abracadabra in 2008, we are delighted to announce that the conference will once again be held in Ireland.
This year's meeting focuses on the desire of nurses to optimise every precious moment they spend with people with diabetes, recognising how to make the most of their skills and resources at all times. This also involves embracing and exploiting the benefits, as well as challenging the limitation, of their own working environments.
This year's speakers include nurses and doctors. Their collective aim will be to examine diabetes care from all perspectives - as healthcare professionals we deal with diabetes day-to-day but this conference will enforce the much heralded, but not always heeded, message that people with diabetes, the ones who appear in front of us, have to deal with every day of their lives. And it is their needs that must remain uppermost in all of our mind, even when issues relating to politics, resources etc seem overwhelming.
In addition this year there will be a complimentary conference dinner and accommodation for all nurses travelling to Naas.
We promise to make the 2nd Annual Irish Abracadabra Diabetes Nursing Conference as interactive and exciting as ever, and look forward to welcoming you to Naas.
