We have appointed twenty healthcare professionals to join our Clinical Champions programme.
The new cohort of Clinical Champions includes consultants, nurses, GPs, dietitians, podiatrists, a pharmacist and our first ever psychologist. They have been selected based on their skills, clinical expertise and passion for transforming care for people with diabetes.
