Dr Trueman and Dr Orlando Terreros are trained and experienced in the challenging task of managing this group of patients. They are supported by our practice nurses, Val and Sarah, who do annual diabetic checks and medication reviews. As well as our Healthcare Assiatants who provide diabetic foot checks. Retinopathy screening is done by a mobile unit at the surgery, from time to time.

They are qualified to assess and examine patients with undiagnosed illnesses, prescribe medication and make referrals for a wide range of medical conditions.
