Hypo Awareness Week 13 - 19 August 2012

This week is aimed at both clinical staff working with people with diabetes as well as all other staff who may come into contact with them, including receptionists and volunteers.

Below you will find our Hypo Awareness Week Resources which we encourage you to use during Hypo Awareness Week.

We would like to hear from you about your successes during the week and of any innovative approaches you may have used. A short survey will be circulated after Hypo Awareness Week to collect your valuable feedback as this is an event we wish to build on each year.
