CHCP Diabetes Service

Our Specialist Diabetes Service works closely with individuals, local GP surgeries, community nursing teams, and nursing and care homes within Bridlington, Hornsea, Driffield, Leven and Beeford.

How we support you

We provide education and support to understand, and manage diabetes diagnosis, healthy glucose management, and the variety of medications (both oral and injectables) used to treat diabetes. In addition, we also educate people about lifestyle changes to improve general health and day-to-day wellbeing and deliver regular “Living with Diabetes” courses in the area; which your GP can refer you to if appropriate.
