East Kent Health and Care Partnership (EKHCP) would like to improve diabetes services in east Kent and have identified a number of ways to make this happen.

EKHCP would like to talk to people in the area who use diabetes services, so that they can make sure that any improvements meet the needs of local people.

If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or care for someone who does, please read the proposals and let EKHCP know your thoughts by completing their survey.

You can find the survey by following this link. If you prefer to complete the survey by hand click here to download and print the document.

NHS England and NHS Improvement have launched a new helpline in response to disruption to normal diabetes services due to the COVID-19 pandemic and response. 

The service is for adults living with diabetes who use insulin to manage their condition and require clinical advice. 

Where routine care has been disrupted, the helpline is available for clinical advice to help you understand how to effectively manage your diabetes. 

You can access NHS Diabetes Advice helpline via Diabetes UK’s Helpline on 0345 123 2399 Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm.
