Abstract
FEND's main aim continues to be to promote the role of the diabetes nurse in Europe. One of our principal goals is the ongoing development of training programmes for such nurses. Angus Forbes, our Professor in Diabetes Nursing, is working particularly hard to realise these goals in the further development of the FEND ENDCUP programme. The programme is unique in that it is disease-specific and aims to facilitate nurses in Europe to acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to promote the development of accredited training courses for nurses specialising in diabetes in their countries. Please spread the word among your colleagues about this important programme, and watch the website for further details.
Angus is also facilitating a FEND Research Network Group, the main aim to develop a strategy to support diabetes nurses in developing a strong clinical academic platform, to ensure that they are fully equipped to meet the needs of people with diabetes by leading care innovations. There will be more information on this group and its activities at our conference in September.
Unfortunately, we have to announce some sad news, that of the retirement of the two current Co-editors of our journal. They have during their time as Co-editors brought the journal to a very high standard, evident in the quality of the articles published. Through their leadership they have mentored and given support to authors, a role particularly appreciated by our readership. We in FEND would like to wish them every success in the future and say a huge thank you to them for all the hard work and commitment they have given to the journal over the last few years.
We are, however, pleased to announce that we have two new Co-editors who have agreed to take on this important role and they are Angus Forbes, our present FEND Professor in Diabetes Nursing, and Magdalena Annersten-Gershater, a former Executive Committee member and at present Chair of the Abstract Committee.
We hope you all have a great summer and we look forward to seeing some of you in Berlin in September.
