Diabetic Clinic
The
Practice has a pro-active nurse-led approach to
diabetes care, with GP support as required.
Several of our nurses have undertaken
additional training in diabetes care and we also
have close links with our local diabetes
specialist nurse. Patients are regularly
invited to the Practice for blood tests, checks
and discussion about the management of any
aspects of their diabetes. We have
regular visits from community dieticians and
the Retinal Screening Service.
All our nurses can provide health promotion
advice and information. Sister Karen Dyer also
offers one to one advice and support for
patients who may have problems maintaining a
healthy weight and wish to make changes to
improve their health.
