Within the Surgery we have created a new display board that you can find in the Surgery on the first floor. This display is regarding the Diabetes and Healthy Eating. This was created to support both Diabetes week (10th-16th) and BNF Healthy Eating Week (10th-14th).
This board shares some of the important information such as:
