Registration opens for Insulin Safety Week 2023

A themed week to raise awareness of insulin safety across hospital trusts and other care settings is set to return this year, with healthcare professionals now invited to register.

Insulin Safety Week 2023 is scheduled to take place in sites across the UK and Ireland between Monday, May 15, and Sunday, May 21.
