Do you have diabetes or do you care for someone with diabetes? Do you want to get involved in shaping your local diabetes care?

As part of the next stage of the Diabetes UK User Involvement in Local Diabetes Care project the charity is now looking for local people with diabetes wanting to get involved in the project and influence diabetes services.

North Mersey user involvement group

In the first instance, Diabetes UK is now setting up its user involvement group for the North Mersey area. People with diabetes wanting to get involved in the project can email the project manager at corinne.mccrum@diabetes.org.uk or call 020 7424 1008 for more information.

North Mersey Diabetes Network is one of the three chosen partners for this user involvement project. The network consists of Liverpool PCT, NHS Sefton and NHS Knowsley. The network has approximately 41,000 people registered with diabetes.

Lincolnshire user involvement group

Diabetes UK will also shortly call for people to get involved in its Lincolnshire group. NHS Lincolnshire is one of the two other chosen partners for the project.
