About us
Our philosophy
The West Hampshire Community
Diabetes Service offers diabetes care and
education to healthcare professionals
throughout West Hampshire at a
variety of community hospitals and GP
surgeries. We offer a varied portfolio of
education for patients and healthcare
practitioners. Wherever possible we aim
to support patients to improve self care.

People with diabetes tell us that
diabetes is both a daily challenge and
a life long journey. Evidence supports
the use of structured group education
programmes for patients with Type 1
and Type 2 diabetes. Increasingly, people
with diabetes are seeking the tools
and knowledge to improve their own
diabetes management, empowering
them to make choices and individualise
their care. We share our specialist
diabetes knowledge with health care
practitioners working in the community
which then ensures that people with
diabetes have access to consistent, high
quality care where and when you need
it.
