The Children’s Diabetes Team at Musgrove Park Hospital are running a meeting group for parents in West Somerset whose child has been diagnosed with diabetes since the start of 2012.
In general we hope that the group will offer a chance to:
meet and learn from other families whose child has diabetes
- share experiences and helpful advice
- discuss fundraising/social ideas
- request teaching on topics of interest from other members of the team
A Diabetes Specialist Nurse and the Clinical Psychologist will attend and lead the group, but parent’s input will be an essential part of the process and the sessions could be shaped around their preferences. The group will meet for 7 sessions, once a fortnight, with sessions lasting about an hour and a half.
