Developing quality structured education in diabetes
Providing award-winning training
DESMOND reaches out at Wembley for 60 years of the NHS
Members of the DESMOND Team joined several hundred NHS at ‘NHS Live’, a unique event to mark the achievements of the NHS past and present held at the prestigious Wembley stadium in North London.
The audience were inspired by many speakers, including NHS chief executive David Nicholson, and Lord Ara Darzi, who took the opportunity to share his vision of the new and future NHS with delegates. Taking a lead from the theme of the day – ‘energising innovation’ - the event showcased drama and music to great effect, including a motivating presentation and performance from Dame Evelyn Glennie, the renowned percussionist.
In the exhibition area, the DESMOND team were one of only a handful of the 700 registered NHS Live initiatives to be present. Although colleagues from many Trusts and professions were in evidence, the DESMOND exhibition, teaching aids and patient materials were the focus of much interest, going to prove that quality education can draw an audience anywhere!
