Group Consultations
The Mission Practice is starting Group Consultations for patients with Type 2 Diabetes
What are group consultations?
Group consultations are 1:1 appointments carried out in a group setting, where you will review your diabetes progress and management plan. This enables you to connect with your healthcare team, as well as meeting other people who are living with diabetes. These consultations are run as group sessions to allow you to spend more time with your healthcare team and discuss things that matter to you. The group are then able to support each other and share ideas on managing diabetes.
Why should I attend?
- People who attend group consultations benefit from having more time with their clinicians and learning from other patients.
- They report feeling less alone in managing their diabetes, and inspired to sustain healthy lifestyle changes.
- Research shows that people who attend group consultations achieve greater improvement in their weight management, blood pressure and blood sugar control, compared with those who attend traditional 1:1 appointments.
- 85% of patients report that they would recommend group consultations to their family or friends.
Will my personal information be kept private?
Yes! Each patient attending group consultations will be asked to sign an agreement which prohibits them from sharing information about any group member with anyone outside of the group.
