Could you take on a role within the global network to help us to reach out and grow our membership and effectiveness in meeting the challenge of diabetes across the world? You will already be an advocate for the prevention, early diagnosis and best treatments for diabetes within your country. Could you become a global champion alongside our vice-presidents and help shape our strategy and activities?
The time commitment is open to you. There will be a few emails a year to respond to and an invite to a meeting when funding allows. We would hope you would persuade colleagues in your Parliament to join and keep us in touch with your activities.
For an informal chat about what’s required contact our Secretary General, Adrian Sanders, adrian@pdgn.org.uk
