Aim
The website is designed to be a resource for people with diabetes, their families and carers, the general public and Health Care Professionals.
The website is continually developing but aims to be a comprehensive resource of information, advice and education in diabetes and endocrinology for patients, healthcare professionals in Leicester, the wider Leicestershire and Rutland community and across the worldwide web.
It aims to deliver user-friendly advice and information covering aspects from being newly diagnosed with diabetes to current professional developments in the field of diabetes.
We hope that this website will help support people with diabetes to effectively self-manage their diabetes and improve quality of life through sharing information and knowledge.
The pioneering website has become a bench mark other NHS bodies around the country. Healthcare professionals, patients, and carers have labelled the website as “Excellent”
A bit of History
The Leicestershirediabetes.org.uk website project was envisaged by the Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology at the Leicester Royal Infirmary to encompass all the Diabetes Services available to the public within the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Primary Care Trusts (PCT’s) and the NHS within Leicestershire and Rutland. The website content and development was initially facilitated by Bernie Stribling, Jane Grant and Shehnaz Jamal.
This website and its content is researched, collated, re-written, developed, presented and is continually maintained by our dedicated Website Development Coordinator -Shehnaz Jamal, striving to ensure that the site is regularly updated and contains robust, evidenced based information in a style that does not contain to much medical ‘jargon’. (2004-2009)
