HEALTH bosses aim to cut waiting times for diabetics in South Tyneside with a new service.
The new programme is designed to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes are seen swiftly by the most appropriate heathcare professionals.
Five clinics will soon be held at Cleadon Park Primary Care Centre, South Shields. Three will be run by Dr Colin Bradshaw, who has an interest in the disease, and the other two by diabetes specialist nurses.
People with routine Type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin, will continue to be managed by their regular GP, but those who require specialist input can now be seen at the Prince Edward Road site.
