BIMDG Nurses
Background
The Nurses group began in 2002 and became a sub group of the BIMDG in 2003. The purpose of the group was to specifically promote patient care by sharing information, ideas and experiences.

Aims
The main aims of the group are to:
- To promote excellence in the nursing care of patients with metabolic disease.

What we do
The group meets biannually, one meeting forms part of the BIMDG annual meeting and has a formal agenda in which members are updated on current issues.
The second meeting is usually educationally based to allow members to update and enhance their knowledge and to allow discussion to take place.
