Based on feedback from the Physical Activity workshop held at the 2009 DAFNE Collaborative meeting, the national DAFNE programme are developing a 1-day 'Physical Activity and DAFNE' event in Manchester on the 22 October 2010 at the McDonald Manchester Hotel.

A group of DAFNE Educators and Drs met February to start planning the day. The programme will consist of morning of presentations followed by afternoon workshops. The workshops will be developed to help support less experienced DAFNE Educators to get to grip with the current Physical Activity session in the DAFNE curriculum with other workshops aimed at more advanced practise for Educators who want to develop further skills and understanding.

Central DAFNE will contact all DAFNE centres in the near future with further details.
