Diabetes Specialist Nurse, Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust
Debora has over 20 years’ experience as a Diabetes Specialist Nurse in both primary and secondary care. She works at Harrogate and District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust but also provides support for Harrogate and Rural CCG.
She has a particular interest in type 2 diabetes, particularly in elderly care and in structured education.
As Diabetes UK Local Clinical Champion for Harrogate she will be focusing on hospital and community diabetes care for the over 75s, and promoting educational programmes for both staff and people with diabetes. Education is an integral part of diabetes management, and Debora hopes to engage all providers of diabetes care in her locality to improve the service currently being offered.
