Our diabetes specialist nurses work with Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust to identify people with diabetes patients in hospital. The nurses provide expert nursing care to patients with diabetes in hospital to support their early discharge and reduce readmissions.
Diabetes specialist nurses educate patients and other healthcare professionals on the management of diabetes in hospital. They also work with GPs and other healthcare professionals.
The nurses are available Monday to Friday at Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, West Cornwall Hospital, and St Michael's Hospital. Cover is also provided over 4-day bank holiday weekends.
