Diabetes Professional Care

What Diabetes Professional Care does

Diabetes Professional Care, rebranded as CVRM Professional Care in 2026, operates a single annual two-day professional healthcare conference and exhibition held at Olympia London on 20-21 October 2026, targeting UK-based clinicians and healthcare professionals involved in the management of cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic (CVRM) long-term conditions. Founded in 2014 and operated under the Closer Still Media event portfolio (as evidenced by shared ASP Events website infrastructure and the closerstillmedia.com accessibility reference), the 2026 edition is configured to host 1,500 healthcare professional attendees, 60 speakers, and 4 newly designed educational theatres. The core product is the unified CVRM Professional Care event, composed of a Conference Programme module and an Exhibition Floor module where pharmaceutical and medtech companies demonstrate products. There is no underlying technology platform, proprietary software, or AI component — the offering is fundamentally a physical event experience.

The business model is event-driven and operates as a two-sided market. On the demand side, UK healthcare professionals register directly through the website, with attendance explicitly restricted to verified UK HCPs and non-HCPs prohibited from attending. On the supply side, revenue is generated through three streams: exhibition stand sales to pharmaceutical and medtech companies, sponsorship packages structured in tiers (with AstraZeneca occupying the Diamond tier for 2026), and attendee registration. Marketing and distribution are conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube), an email newsletter, and a partner-society outreach network including Trend Diabetes, Primary Care Dietitians, the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society, Diabetes UK, and the British Society for Heart Failure. Sponsorship terms explicitly preserve editorial independence of the agenda and speaker selection, in compliance with ABPI guidelines.

The company is small by headcount (5 employees) and has no disclosed funding rounds, venture backing, M&A activity, or parent-company investment in the available data. Revenue, stand pricing, and sponsorship pricing are not publicly disclosed. The strategic rebrand from a diabetes-only event to a broader CVRM event reflects an intent to align with NHS and global health-system shifts toward integrated long-term-condition management, but execution remains bounded by a single annual event format and a UK-only geographic footprint.
