Type 1 Diabetes

We aim to provide a flexible and responsive service from a multi-professional team. We try to treat patients as individuals, recognising that a long term condition such as diabetes may affect many aspects of people’s lives. For our diabetes patients, our goal is to empower patients to enable them to self-manage their diabetes with confidence.

Our clinics are supported by doctors, specialist nurses, diabetes specialist Dietitians, and a psychologist. A number of clinics are multi-professional with access to various members of the multidisciplinary team in the same appointment.

The department has a very successful and well established insulin pump and DAFNE service, and pride ourselves on being a head of the curve with new developments in diabetes.

We also have a telephone and email service for patients and carers to use for advice between appointments.
