A team from East Surrey Hospital has been shortlisted for a national award.

The group working with children’s diabetes at the hospital in Redhill is nominated for the Quality in Care Award in the Best Initiative in Specialised Care.

Over 250 children and young people with diabetes are cared for at the hospital every year.  The paediatric diabetes doctors and nurses, along with the dietician and psychologist, have been praised for their work in supporting and teaching these children to make the most of using technology in their day to day care.

The winners of the awards will be announced at a ceremony in October.
