Diabetes is a condition that affects every aspect of a person’s health, which is why the Hillingdon Diabetes Team works closely with various clinical teams across Hillingdon.

They collaborate with the District Nursing Service, where our SPOC hotline supports district nurses administering insulin in the community. They also partner with the Community Cardiac Team to support patients with both diabetes and cardiac conditions, conducting monthly MDTs (multidisciplinary team meetings) and medication reviews to ensure patient safety.

In recognition of the holistic impact of diabetes, the team piloted a project with CNWL Talking Therapies to provide psychological support to patients living with diabetes. This initiative aims to address the emotional and mental health aspects of managing a long-term condition.
