Diabetes UK's Healthcare Delivery Working Group is looking for a practice nurse who is also a Diabetes UK professional member to join the group.

The Healthcare Delivery Working Group was set up to encourage high-quality, culturally sensitive, patient-focused care for people with diabetes, as well as focusing on psychological care, education, and quality implementation of practice.

"This is a superb opportunity for anyone who is considering getting more involved with the charity's work with healthcare professionals in order to make a difference to the care of people with diabetes," said David Bryant, Professional Groups Co-ordinator at Diabetes UK.

Members of the working group are also offered the opportunity to get involved in the work of task and finish groups. Examples of these in the last year have included Care Pathways for Older Patients in Residential Care, which is presently drafting an update to the 1999 guidelines for care home staff, and the Integrated Care Task and Finish Group, which is examining ways of developing joined-up thinking in patient care to ensure consistent treatment for people with diabetes.
