Our service

The Community Diabetes Service provides expert education and support for people living with all types of diabetes, as well as the healthcare professionals who care for them.

Our team has extensive experience in managing complex diabetes needs. We work closely with people living with diabetes to help them feel confident in managing their condition, improve blood glucose control, reduce the risk of complications, and enhance overall quality of life.

As a specialist service, our focus is on supporting individuals with more complex needs through a holistic, patient-centred, and multidisciplinary approach. People referred to our service will take part in a structured diabetes education programme designed to build skills and confidence in self-management. Once this programme is completed, ongoing care will continue with their GP and Practice Nurse.

Diabetes is a progressive condition that can feel overwhelming at times, as it is both complex and constantly changing. Our Community Diabetes Specialist Nurses are here to help you—or your patients—stay safe and reduce the risk of both short-term and long-term complications.
