Abstract:
The Young Diabetologists' Forum (YDF) is a group designed and run by specialist trainees in endocrinology and diabetes that aims to provide high quality educational events. The YDF recognised that not all trainees in the specialty had equitable access to training opportunities and resolved to try and remedy the situation. This article describes the history and evolution of the YDF into an organisation representing over 400 trainees in endocrinology and diabetes, providing up to seven training events per year and with a budget of over pounds 200,000. As well as offering education and training another key purpose of the YDF is to give trainees from around the country the opportunity to meet up and exchange thoughts and ideas. The overall aim of the organisation is to improve the lives of people with diabetes by helping to ensure that future specialists are fully equipped for their role.
