PDN Webinar: Equitable Access to Paediatric Diabetes Care

November 14th marks World Diabetes Day. In recognition of this year’s theme – “access to diabetes care” – three leaders in paediatric diabetes will each present on key issues and solutions regarding equitable access to paediatric diabetes care in Ontario and Manitoba, with an emphasis on Indigenous communities and the COVID-19 pandemic. Webinar Speakers: Dr. Sarah Dineen is a General Paediatrician practicing in Thunder Bay and the Physician Lead for the Thunder Bay Paediatric Diabetes Education Program (PDEP). She provides care to people in Northwestern Ontario, including to Indigenous fly-in reserve communities. She also has a special interest in providing care to gender diverse children and youth. Dr. Rayzel Shulman is a Pediatric Endocrinologist in the Division of Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics at The Hospital for Sick Children, an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto, a Scientist in the Child Health and Evaluative Sciences Program at the SickKids Research Institute, and an Adjunct Scientist at ICES. Her research program is focused on developing and evaluating health services interventions to improve health outcomes and the quality of care for youth living with diabetes. She is particularly interested in developing and evaluating interventions that leverage existing population-level administrative datasets to inform health system change. Areas of focus include transition to adult care, prevention of diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis, and reducing socioeconomic disparities in diabetes management and outcomes. Dr. Brandy Wicklow is a Pediatric Endocrinologist, Head of the Section of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Associate Professor at the University of Manitoba, and Clinician Researcher at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba. Her clinical career focuses on healthcare provision to underserviced children and youth, including outreach type 2 diabetes subspecialty care to Indigenous children living on reserve in Northern communities. Her clinical research focuses on the intergenerational and early life determinants of type 2 diabetes and renal disease in children and adolescents, with a particular interest in the impacts of the psychological, economic, and social and structural impacts on the wholistic health of all children living with diabetes.
