Diabetes Week 2022 ~~~
13 June 2022 marks the start of UK Diabetes Week - if you are looking for some ideas for promoting your service the spring-board of Diabetes Week is always a great place to start.
We have created some resources below to help you along the way, as well as provided links below to other articles that may provide you with further inspiration. And the Diabetes UK page always has some some great free resources and ideas - click here to find out more. The theme this year is ‘This is Your #Diabetesweek’ - and we would love to hear yours and your patients stories.
Social Media
Social media card - which can be used on posts and as your page banner. Here are some samples to download as PDF or the PowerPoint files which you can adapt for local purposes
Tweets - for some tweet/post suggestions. You could adapt for your other social media platforms and pass to your local Communications Teams to see if they want to get involved
Further info and ideas about using social media can be found here
Find DESMOND and MyDESMOND flyers, logos etc here covering all of our education modules
Pharmacies

Social Prescribers
Social Prescribers are quickly becoming a vital role in our communities taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. They connect people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. And as such can ask as a promotor for your local DESMOND services - so make sure they are in the know about what you have to offer and how patients can access them. Some of the resources mentioned here or that you have developed locally will help them to get a better idea of what attended a group or using MyDESMOND is all about.
