Meet:
Angie Middlehurst
and Zuha Zubair Ahmed

Meet: Angie Middlehurst
CLAN Committee Member

Picture
Angie’s background is Paediatric and General Nursing, and she has been involved in childhood and adolescent diabetes for 26 years. She is passionate regarding advocacy for global insulin and diabetes supplies access; management of diabetes at school; diabetes camps and transition from paediatric to adult care for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Angie Middlehurst was Deputy Manager and Education Director for the Life for a Child (LFAC) Programme based at Diabetes NSW in Sydney, Australia from 2011-2018. Semi-retired, Angie continues to volunteer for global diabetes organisations: International Society for Paediatric & Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD), Life for a Child (LFAC), International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Insulin for Life Global (IFL), Juvenile Diabetes Foundation of Australia (JDRF), DiAthlete and PenPals United USA (PPU).

​We are especially grateful to Angie for her long term commitment to CLAN. Her knowledge and experience has been i
nvaluable to our work, particularly in the field of Diabetes, however, her contribution has crossed over to many conditions and countries in which CLAN works. For example, her work in collating international COVID-19 resources. These resources consider various countries' responses to COVID, as well as information regarding the impact of the virus on people and communities living with various NCDs. These resources provide valuable information to support NCD and vulnerable communities, and feature as part of the COVID resources page on the CLAN website.


Meet: Zuha Zubair Ahmed
CLAN Intern
Written by Zuha

I am a third year university student at Carleton University in Canada. My dual major in anthropology and literature lead me to CLAN to work for the summer as an intern in June 2021. Through CLAN, I was able to learn about the health inequalities, especially with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.​

Additionally, I was honoured to be invited through CLAN, to the 'Our Views, Our Voices' meeting, hosted by NCDAlliance, which was a platform for advocacy and an educational opportunity for me to understand the Global impact of NCDs. The meeting proved how much of an impact awareness and advocacy can have on people with NCDs and emphasised the importance of meaningfully involving people with NCDs with their community.

During my time in CLAN I have had the pleasure of compiling awareness messages as well as creating illustrations for future social media posts and projects. Jointly, I worked with Indigenous NCDs on the development of the Toolkit for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with NCDs. I had also spent some time researching how the lack of Aboriginal languages impacts the health outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
