2023-24 DESMOND ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS REPORT IS PUBLISHED

The last 12 months have been a wonderful time to reflect and think back on 20 years of DESMOND, and how far the programme has come since its inception.  

With the number of people attending a group or using our digital interventions growing year-on-year; we are proud to see the difference that the programmes, and all the local provider teams, are making in continuing to bang the drum for structured self-management education provision, which is evident throughout this report in our improved feedback scores and increasing numbers.  

The Celebrating DESMOND Awards event back in October was a great chance to hear from provider teams and to showcase the fantastic work that continues throughout the UK and Ireland, as well as across the world. A huge congratulations from us to all the very worthy winners, make sure to read more about the winners later in this report. We hear plans are afoot for the 2024 Celebrating DESMOND Awards…watch this space!  

It is great to continue to expand our range of programmes both group and digital, and we hope that 2024-25 will bring even more; with a keen focus on expanding services and provision for people with Early Onset Type 2 Diabetes, read on to find out about the research that we are already undertaking in this area.
