Improving joint working between health care professionals and across different service providers, and a stronger focus on prevention and individualised patient care, were central themes at the Diabetes Professional Care conference held in London, November 2016, and attended by more than 1000 health care professionals, managers and policymakers. Susan Mayor reports on why these measures were identified as being essential to optimise the treatment and care of patients with diabetes.
