Request 1-13

As someone living with diabetes, I am seeking further information about local diabetes services to assist me in making more informed care choices. Given the high variability in diabetes service quality and outcomes, coupled with a lack of transparency on GP practice websites and NHS Choices, more specific information about local service provision would support patients to better self-navigate and access care and support services that better meet their needs and preferences.

1. Does the practice run a diabetes clinic? Y/N
2. Does the practice run a clinic for Type 1 diabetes patients? Y/N
3. Does the practice have a GP with special interest in diabetes (GPwSI)? Y/N
4. Are there any diabetes specialist nurses (DSN) available onsite e.g for clinics? Y/N
