Professor Vinod Patel trained in diabetes and endocrinology at the Hammersmith and Royal London Hospitals, before obtaining a doctorate on Haemodynamic factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy from the University of London. His specialist area of research is prevention of diabetic complications but he now focusses on diabetes education and has a passion for clinical diabetes care. He is jointly qualified in hospital medicine and in general practice, which has allowed him to work across the primary–secondary care interface, improving effectiveness in the delivery of diabetes care for the local community.
Professor Patel’s diabetes care team was instrumental in developing the Alphabet strategy for patient-centred, evidence-based, multi-professional diabetes care. This preventative and treatment-orientated strategy has been taught in numerous courses and seminars across the UK, with multiple international presentations at conferences and workshops sponsored by the UN development programme. Currently, he is also the Clinical Director for Diabetes for NHS England West Midlands.
Professor Patel’s work is driven by the deep-held belief that a patient-centred, outcome-based, team-working approach can lead to a reduction in all premature complications of diabetes, significantly improving the quality of life of people in UK.
