Please make every effort to your attend your appointment, missed appointments cost the NHS money and add to waiting lists. Please read your appointment letter as your appointment may be a telephone appointment and not necessarily face to face.

What typically happens when you visit outpatients?

• On arrival, report to the receptionist/clinic co-ordinator.
• The diabetes clinic support nurse will call your name and take you to the treatment area.
• Your blood pressure, height and weight will be recorded.
• Your consultant may also request additional blood tests requiring a sample of blood taken via the vein. 
• The diabetes clinic support nurse will show you back to the reception area to await the doctor who will subsequently call you into the consultation room.
• You may be need to see the diabetes specialist nurse and/or dietitian following the consultant consultation.

Please note, you may not see the named person on your appointment letter and you could be seen by another member of the team.
