Diabetes

Diabetes is a leading cause of premature mortality in the UK, causing over 22,000 additional deaths every year. The condition doubles an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease and costs over £10 billion every year to manage. In south London alone, there are currently 159,819 people identified as having either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Our work stretches from project management of new clinics, adapting pathways to suit and finding technological and digital solutions to support self-management. We are working to share, adopt, develop and implement innovative ways of improving health outcomes for people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, with an emphasis on supporting self-management to minimise the impact of diabetes on their lives, and the pressure that puts on the health and care system.
