IDF Europe Symposium at EASD, Sunday, 10 September 2017 – Achieving improved compliance to diabetes care: the common task for care providers, health systems and people with diabetes
More than 70 participants joined IDF Europe’s Symposium at the 53rd meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Lisbon, Portugal on September 10, 2017. The Symposium addressed one of the main challenges in diabetes: improving compliance to diabetes care. Healthcare professionals and patients presented their perspectives on what needs to be improved in the health care systems, how the cohesion of the diabetes team can be improved and how mobile applications can contribute to improving compliance.
IDF Europe booth at EASD 2017
As in previous years, IDF Europe was offered a booth and a meeting room at the Associations’ Village by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Lisbon, Portugal. Flyers on EU-funded projects, on IDF Europe Prizes, and on the YOURAH initiative were distributed during the 5-day meeting (11-15 September 2017). Visitors particularly appreciated the friendly and dynamic welcome given by our young advocates who gathered at the booth and promoted current and future youth activities supported by IDF Europe.
