Diabetes

All patients with diabetes receive a long term condition review.

First, you will be invited to come to the practice and see a Health Care Assistant. The Health Care Assistant will check the health of your feet. They will also take a blood sample and a blood pressure reading.

Next, you will be invited to a doctor-led group consultation or a 1-to-1 review with a nurse.

Together, you will review your results and agree on your treatment plan.
