A PIONEERING project in Southampton is transforming care for diabetic patients while saving cash-strapped hospital bosses ?200,000 a year.
A specialist diabetes task force has hit the wards of the city?s General Hospital, offering unique bedside clinics to patients in a bid to combat any diabetes complications before they become an emergency.
The three-month trial has proved a huge success, preventing 45 potential diabetes-related medication errors, reducing readmission rates by almost four per cent and cutting the length of stay in hospital that has resulted in a yearly saving of ?200,000.
