IDF Europe - Support for members

Home Europe Back

Any federation has two major targets: voicing the needs of the members and supporting the members to develop. We are looking to have powerful, well organized and effective diabetes associations in all the European countries. Some of the support activities for the member associations include:

Together We Are Stronger (TWAS) Annual Meetings and training sessions.

IDF and IDF Europe provide for their members:

  • Policy support: EU or CoE recommendations regarding areas which impact diabetes;
  • Professional guidelines;
  • Training of professionals;
  • Grants for organizational development;
  • Direct counsel and advice;
  • Emergency interventions;
  • Information sharing;
  • Venues for ideas exchange, learning new skills or solutions to concrete problems;
  • Support for participation to scientific events;
  • Web site, newsletter and news updates

Sub regional meetings: the Nordic countries, the East European Countries, the Diabetes Experts Panel from Accessing Countries (DEPAC).

Association Development Training Courses and small grants.

Designing and implementing country visits and producing country reports.

The International Youth Camp dedicated to future leaders and activists of the Member Associations. The first event was scheduled for July 2011, in Rogla, Slovenia.
 

IDF Europe has been in discussion with a leading broker in the UK, PSR Insurance Brokers Limited who has negotiated a very interesting Travel Insurance policy suitable for persons living with diabetes in Europe. The product was officially launched during the General Assembly of the IDF Europe, on 2 December in Dubai. You may check the details of the insurance policy and obtain a quick quote here.
