WHAT IS THIS CLINIC?
The Diabetic Clinic is for all patients over 18 years to attend who have Type I or Type II diabetes. This is both a jointly run clinic (GP and Practice Nurse) where an annual check is performed and a six monthly (interim) check with one of the Practice Nurses.


HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM THIS CLINIC?
Patients benefit from these clinics as there will be time to discuss diet, lifestyle and general management of their diabetes and any complications. Referrals may be made following attendance at these clinics to the Dietician, Podiatrist, Ophthalmologist or Retinal Screening (which takes place at The Health Centre) or Consultant, or Diabetes Specialist Nurse if required.


HOW DO I ACCESS THIS CLINIC?
Patients may access this clinic by making an appointment through the Receptionist or by discussion with their GP or Practice Nurse.
