A WORKSHOP for people to learn more about diabetes is being held from 3.30pm to 6pm on Wednesday, May 2, writes Catherine Reston.

‘Droitwich and Diabetes’, organised by the Spa Medical Practice Patient Participation Group (PPG), takes place in the community room at the town’s Methodist Church, Worcester Road.

Diabetes is on the increase and it is estimated there are currently 3.7million people living with the condition in the UK. Droitwich also has more people diagnosed than the UK average.

Alderman Peter Pinfield, Spa Medical Practice PPG, said: “We decided to put on an open seminar to tell people about the condition and what we can do to help control and prevent it.




“Diabetes is a growing problem and as a PPG we really wanted to do something to raise awareness of the problem in Droitwich.”

People living with the condition and residents at risk can speak to others in the same position and also hear from local clinical experts.


The workshop will include a panel of local medical practitioners and people living with the diabetes who will can answer any questions people might have relating to the condition.

Call Peter on 01905 774937 for more information.
