Review: Diabetic Association, BDA, Diabetes UK

Diabetes UK, 10 Parkway, London, NW1 7AA, UK, sue.curnow{at}diabetes.org.uk

Patient empowerment, knowledge and an integrated care team are the keys to successful chronic disease management. The Diabetic Association — now known as Diabetes UK — has always advocated patient-centred care and has provided a platform for the patient, the healthcare professional and scientist to meet. From the beginning of the Charity's history, patients and professionals have worked together to promote the present day Mission: `to improve the lives of people with diabetes and to work towards a future without diabetes'; and to set people free from the restrictions of diabetes, provide the highest quality care and information for all.

Key Words: RD Lawrence • HG Wells • British Diabetic Association • Diabetes UK • patient centred services • multidisciplinary membership.
