Diabetes Specialist Nurses
The Diabetes Specialist Nurses are a small team, all of whom have primary and secondary care roles.
We help support you, your family and carers by providing education and guidance on managing diabetes.
We also provide educational support for primary and secondary care such as Doctors, Nurses and Community Practice Staff.
We aim to ensure people with diabetes:
- have access to professional specialist skills and advice
- set and achieve personal targets
- actively participate in their diabetes care wherever possible
