Insulin Safety Week 2025 – Focusing on safe use of diabetes technology

Building on the incredible success of last year’s campaign, which saw over 500 healthcare sites take part, Insulin Safety Week returns from May 12 to 18, with a dedicated focus on the safe use of diabetes technology.

While the campaign’s core objective remains to raise awareness of insulin safety within the healthcare community, this year will continue to highlight the challenges and opportunities presented by technological innovation.

With recent advancements, including the phased rollout of hybrid closed-loop systems following new NICE technology appraisal guidance, the 2025 campaign aims to ensure healthcare professionals – both diabetes specialists and non-specialists – are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to use emerging technologies safely and effectively.

Registering for Insulin Safety Week 2025 provides healthcare teams with a variety of printed and online materials to use in a range of activities to enhance understanding of diabetes technology and support best practices.

These resources are designed to empower nurses, doctors, and other healthcare staff to navigate this evolving landscape while reducing the risk of insulin-related adverse events.

Emily Mayhew, event manager said: “Insulin Safety Week provides an invaluable opportunity for healthcare professionals to come together, strengthen their knowledge of insulin therapy, and embrace the safe use of new diabetes technologies.

“Using the resources to focus on education and collaboration, we can work together to improve patient outcomes and minimise risks.”

Healthcare professionals can register to take part here.
