An inpatient diabetes team from Bedford Hospital has received national recognition at this year?s Quality in Care awards for diabetes.
Doctor Alison Melvin, who is consultant diabetologist at the Bedford Hospital NHS Trust, collected the Best Inpatient Care Initiative award at a ceremony held in Guildford on Thursday (October 18).
The hospital was recognised for a project which reduced the number of adult inpatients with diabetes, who experienced episodes of low blood glucose levels, known as hypoglyceamia or ?hypos?.
Sharon Roberts, regional manager for Diabetes UK?s eastern region, said: ?The experience of inpatients with diabetes in Bedford Hospital has been shown to have greatly improved thanks to this project, so Dr Melvin and her team fully deserve this recognition.
