WESTERN ROAD MEDICAL CENTRE

Dr Quigley runs a diabetic annual review clinic on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons to allow him to provide a thorough assessment of your diabetes.

There are a number of things that should be done for you each year. They are time consuming and can't easily be done in normal surgery appointments.

The clinic is designed to keep a regular watch on your blood sugar level, cholesterol and  blood pressure and provide regular examination of your feet. By doing this we can prevent or delay many of the complications of diabetes.

Please make an appointment. If you go much over a year between appointments you will get a reminder letter. The receptionists can arrange appointments for you to have a blood test and attend the clinic 1-2 weeks later.

You also need a (free) annual diabetic eye check. This now done by local opticians rather than GPs.
