From October 2025 our service will be moving to the Peckwater Centre, which is a short walk from Kentish Town station. The new address will appear on this page when the move is complete. To find out why we're moving click here.
Camden Community Diabetes Service is made up of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) providing support to adults with (mainly) type 2 diabetes in the community to manage their condition.
The team helps patients with complex health issues who need multiple therapies and the aim is to avoid hospital attendances and prevent risk of long-term complications. Patients are provided with the skills, knowledge and confidence to self-manage their diabetes effectively.
The service is for adults over the age of 18 who are registered with a Camden general practitioner (GP) who have a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and one or more of the following:
- Require injectable therapies
- Insulin-treated type 2 diabetes patients with raised Hba1c
- Problematic hypoglycaemia
- Type 2 group education on new diagnosis and ongoing (DESMOND or Bengali Education)
- High risk or active diabetes foot ulcers
- Step-down care from hospital following discharge
The service accepts referrals from GPs and other healthcare professionals. Referrals should be made to the CNWL Central Access Team via email camdenreferrals.cnwl@nhs.net using the Camden Community Diabetes IPU Referral form on EMIS.
The service also accepts self-referrals from patients and their carers for type 2 diabetes group education. To make a referral, telephone 0203 758 2036.
The service is available from 09:00-17:00, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays), by appointment only.
Services are delivered at St Pancras Hospital (diabetes hub), and a number of health centres across the London Borough of Camden. Services can also be provided at home if required.
