The Lothian Diabetes MCN Clinical Practice Meetings are aimed at Primary Care teams as a platform for education and are also an opportunity to showcase aspects of service and quality improvement and, provide an open clinic form for colleagues to raise clinical queries and problems for discussion.
Following feedback from our members, the day we hold the Clinical Practice Meetings will be changing. Meetings will now take place on the Fourth Wednesday of each month (excluding July and December) over lunchtime from 12:30-1:30pm on MS Teams.
