NCL Diabetes and Weight Management Network

This network meets on the third Thursday of each month to discuss projects, services and wider aspects of diabetes and weight management care for NCL residents. It has core representation from primary and secondary care, community teams (such as diabetes specialist nurses and dietetics), diabetes education teams, foot services and public health. The chairing of the network is shared between primary and secondary care. The network has a clinical advisory role. 

All clinicians working on diabetes are welcome to join the network meetings. If you have any queries or would like to attend, contact Dr Karl Roberts, GP and network co-chair

Mr Motivator Club GP referral programme

The Mr Motivator Club offers live Zoom classes with standing and sitting options three times a week, as well as access to a library of pre-recorded classes. Healthcare professionals can refer patients with a chronic condition who are not meeting the World Health Organisation (WHO) physical activity recommendations. 

University College London (UCL), who is performing a study about the experience, is providing full funding for 200 patients for three months to help encourage uptake. See Downloads for more information about the study and a patient poster, and Vimeo for a video explaining how and why healthcare professionals should refer patients to the club.

Contact Daryl Jashek for more information.
