New digital leaflet for people with diabetes awaiting surgery
Every year over 300,000 elective operations take place on people with diabetes. Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) has worked together with a small group of clinicians, made up of doctors, anaesthetists and a psychologist, to produce a leaflet for people with diabetes who are awaiting surgery. As you are no doubt aware the wait times for elective operations have increased considerably for many people due to the backlog caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the digital leaflet is to empower people to keep well with their diabetes whilst they wait for their operation.
