Session 2: Living with T1DE: what patients and healthcare professionals need to know

The best way to learn about how we can improve patient care is to hear those who are directly affected. Learning from those with lived experience of T1DE is essential for healthcare professionals working with this patient group. In this session, Claire and Nikki from the ComPASSION team will talk to Naomi, who will focus on her experiences of living with both type 1 diabetes and an eating disorder, and will share insights into what healthcare professionals and patients need to know.

The Wessex ComPASSION (Combined Pathway for Assessment and Support for the Syndrome of Insulin OmissioN–Type 1 diabetes) team employs an innovative, multidisciplinary approach collaborating across diabetes and eating disorders teams.
