Use your expertise to help us beat diabetes

The Council of Healthcare Professionals is a multidisciplinary advisory body whose members inform the work of Diabetes UK and provide us with feedback on whether we are meeting the needs of healthcare professionals and people living with diabetes. The Council also provides support and advice on areas of specific interest to healthcare professionals.

There are a number of vacancies available on the Council starting in January 2012. These are open to all healthcare professionals with a specialism or interest in diabetes. The Council meets four times a year and you would be invited to provide input to consultations between meetings. There will also be the opportunity to take part in project work on key issues for the charity and healthcare professionals.

Members will be expected to demonstrate an ability to think strategically, put across the perspective of their profession, question constructively, take an active part in all meetings and contribute to consultations via email.

Being a member of Council will be both challenging and rewarding. Working in partnership with us, you can use your expertise to help us beat diabetes.

To apply please send a CV and covering letter, explaining why you want to join the Council and what you can contribute, to patrick.little@diabetes.org.uk by 1 November 2011. An application pack containing further information is attached. If you have any queries, please contact Patrick Little on patrick.little@diabetes.org.uk or 020 7424 1130.

 Best wishes,
