Involving people who use NHS services in the planning and organisation of all services is a legal requirement for healthcare organisations. This can take a variety of forms depending on where you live.

If you would like to get involved in your diabetes service ask at your GP practice about whether there is a user group or patient forum and how you can get in touch.

To learn about becoming involved in your local NHS and diabetes services as a Diabetes UK service user representative: visit User involvement or email: userinvolvement@diabetes.org.uk or telephone: 020 7424 1000.
