Meet the Speakers

Paul Dromgoole
RGN, RNMH, MSc Diabetes, PGCE
Clinical Lecturer - Diabetes / Diabetes Specialist Nurse
Paul Dromgoole is well known nationally for his diabetes educational work and his sessions are consistently very highly evaluated by attendees

Paul has over 20 years’ experience in diabetes management in Primary Care and Secondary Care Settings in Brighton, Leicester and York, where he previously worked as a half-time Lecturer Practitioner in Diabetes at the University of York and an External Examiner for the University of Ulster.

He has extensive experience of supporting General Practice in clinical decision making and best practice in diabetes management and his teaching sessions and workshops are consistently highly evaluated for their clinical content, delivery and application to ‘real-life’ clinical practice.

Paul feels as passionate at being involved in diabetes as 20 years ago, with some excellent therapies, with strong evidence of protecting patients into the future: Importantly, if we can get them ‘on board’.

Paul now combines a 2 day a week role as Clinical Nurse Specialist in Diabetes, with freelance Lecturing work throughout the UK.

Outside of work he is a keen Scuba Diver and PADI Dive Instructor and now proud owner of a classic 1947 BSA Motorcycle (any help with kick-starting would be welcome!)

As the SRO for Diabetes, he has system responsibility for clinical governance and has been leading the re-design of diabetes services, clinical guidelines, outcome measures and quality indicators across 2 CCGs in Bradford with a focus on cardio-metabolic pathways. He has a particular interest in translating evidence into practice, cardio-metabolic medicine, multi-morbidity and the role of technology and innovation in the delivery of patient care. He has been involved as a Principal Investigator in numerous research projects related to primary care and diabetes.
