Most diabetics are cared for in the practice, rather than being referred to the hospital. We hold weekly clinics for annual and general reviews run by our specially trained Practice Nurses.
We hold dedicated clinics to assess results and advise on medication, insulin initiation and changes, diet and lifestyle.
As part of the diabetic annual review, an appointment will be made to see the podiatrist, and a retinal screening appointment will be offered.
We have close links to the diabetic service at St Mary’s Hospital and offer a combined service with some patients having shared care between ourselves and the hospital. Patients are referred to the hospital service where necessary.
