New clinical academic centre for diabetes nursing to start in 2013

The centre will develop and expand vital research into caring and supporting people with diabetes within a Europe-wide network.  It was announced in November 2012 by the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery in partnership with King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the centre will receive significant funding from the Foundation of European Nurses in Diabetes (FEND).

This partnership extends FEND’s existing investment in research and education, which includes the FEND Chair of Diabetes Nursing at King’s College London held by Professor Angus Forbes.  The clinical academic centre will create relevant opportunities for developing innovative research in diabetes nursing, clinical practice and education and create new research posts to work with Professor Forbes and the multi-disciplinary clinical diabetes team at King’s.  They will develop projects of major importance for the well-being of people with diabetes across Europe.

The three-year funding programme will begin in 2013.
