DESMOND in Banes

DESMOND is in BANES! [NHS Bath and North East Somerset]

Who is he - you may well ask!

DESMOND stands for Diabetes Education and Self Management for Ongoing and Newly Diagnosed

It’s a way of finding out more about Type 2 diabetes.

The free, one day sessions are held in various venues around the BANES area. There are two sessions a month. The programme is led by two Health professionals trained to ensure you are provided with honest up-to-date information about the causes, effects and options in managing your diabetes.

The day is informal and friendly, a day for you to ask questions, share experiences, thoughts and opinions. By the end of the day you will be in control and making decisions about your diabetes! Come and join us!

For more and referral contact your Practice Nurse or GP. They will have the dates and venues for the next 6 months
