16 to 19 year olds with diabetes living in mid and south Essex are invited to an informative session to find out more about the adult diabetes services and life as an adult with diabetes.  

The sessions are available to young people living in Chelmsford, Maldon, Braintree, Castle Point and Rochford, Thurrock, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood and Southend. 

You have a choice to either attend an online session, face to face event, or choose to attend both. 

Online session

•  Date: Monday 23 September 2024
•  Time: 2-4pm
•  Sign up via Eventbrite here

Face to face session

•  Date: 30 October 2024
•  Time: 2-5pm
•  Basildon Sporting Village
•  Free rock climbing and refreshments included
•  Sign up via Eventbrite here

Both sessions are free to attend and will provide information and answer all your questions about adult topics such as alcohol management and dealing with exam stress. It is also a good way to find out who your adult diabetes team are and how they might work differently to children’s services.

You can bring a family member or caregiver if you wish. 

If you join either the online session or face to face event, you will be entered into a free prize draw to win a £25 amazon voucher.
