Diabetes and mental health: Focus group

The emotional and psychological impact of living with diabetes can be overwhelming, and research has shown that people living with diabetes are more likely to experience mental health issues including depression and anxiety.

This project is looking to understand the experiences of people living with diabetes, how this affects mental health, as well as how mental health issues can impact on the ability to manage diabetes.

Interested participants will be able to choose from one of the following sessions:

• Tuesday 28 February, 3pm to 4pm
• Tuesday 28 February, 6.30pm to 7.30pm
• Tuesday 7 March, 3pm to 4pm

Sessions will be recorded, only for the purposes of this research.

Feedback will be used as part of a funding application for further research into ways to combine diabetes and mental health care.

It is being carried out by a team of researchers at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust and Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.
