the future of diabetes in northern ireland

Elections are taking place in Northern Ireland in 2027, and we need your help to make sure diabetes is a priority for political parties.

Diabetes is serious, but much of the harm it causes can be prevented. Northern Ireland has a real opportunity to improve health outcomes, reduce complications, and help more people live well with diabetes. 

The next Northern Ireland Assembly must put prevention, early intervention and long-term diabetes planning at the heart of healthcare policy and reform.
We’re calling on all political parties to commit to five actions:

• Deliver earlier diagnosis
• Invest in type 2 diabetes prevention
• Tackle inequalities
• Accelerate innovation and harness data
• Secure the future of diabetes care

By signing up, you’ll receive campaign updates, hear about opportunities to take action, and help us call for change for everyone affected by diabetes across Northern Ireland.
