Diabetic Clinic
Diabetes affects between 3-4% of the population and is increasing as we all enjoy a wealthier lifestyle. It tends to run in families and is common in obese people. The condition increases the glucose level in the blood. It is another major risk factor for developing heart disease but can also affect eyesight, the kidneys, the feet and the nerves in the skin.
It is treated by diet initially but adult patients may also need tablets or even insulin injections. Young people tend to need insulin injections immediately.
Patients are seen annually to have their illness monitored and ensure that their diabetes is under good control. Checks are also undertaken for other heart disease risk factors and assessments made for other diabetic complications so that these can be treated appropriately.
Diabetic clinics are run by our Practice Nurses.

Nurse Clinics
Our nurses run a variety of clinics Monday to Friday, plus an extra cervical screening clinic one Saturday per month for patients that are unable to attend during the week.
Appointments with a nurse or healthcare assistant are offered throughout the day Monday to Friday.
All the nurses can deliver a wide range of nursing care and procedures but some have extra specialist skills.
It is important that you tell the receptionist what you want the nurse to do so that an appropriately skilled nurse can be booked for you. You may be asked by the doctor or another nurse to book a nurse appointment but you can also book directly to see them for things you view as appropriate. Ask the receptionist if you are not sure.
