Diabetes UK - Gateshead Group

Gateshead Group Meetings are normally held monthly, held on THE FIRST WEDNESDAY of each month (except December, January, February, July, August).  

Doors open normally at 7.10pm, meetings start at 7.30pm, all welcome.  Meetings are FREE, no membership required and are open to all.

You can come along to socialize, get advice/support from Healthcare Professionals, committee members and each other. Perhaps one of the most important things is raising awareness and education about Diabetes. 

A lot of our meetings have guest speakers. Topics are far and wide from specific aspects of Diabetes management delivered by medical experts through to sensible eating delivered by nutritionists.  We have refreshments eg tea/coffee provided we have raffles and other events to fund raise for diabetes research.

The Meetings take place at the QE Hospital Gateshead in Seminar Room 1, Clinical Skills Centre accessible via the Windy Nook entrance: follow signs along corridors to the event, first door on the left use stairs to first floor. There is also a lift available.
