Free Digital Diabetes and Digital Service in Hammersmith and Fulham

The Digital Diabetes service, in collaboration with Know Diabetes aims to support people in accessing online diabetes services whilst developing their basic digital skills.

How can we help?

We offer a free service to help more people become digitally included by using the Know Diabetes app and website where they can learn about diabetes, track progress with access to their health record, get advice and tips. Our service also includes tailored training on all things “digital” from how to setup and use email, WhatsApp, Zoom and more. Digital skill sessions are provided both in a one-to-one and group session, using any type of device (laptop, tablet, smartphones etc) giving learners the opportunity to learn at their own pace.

What will it achieve?

It endeavours to support adults, 18 and over, with diabetes to have:

• Better health outcomes, improved confidence, and self-management skills.
• Improved mental wellbeing, including reductions in social isolation from being able to access virtual and group consultations.
• Increased peer support.
• Improved knowledge of available services including public health and community programmes.

How can I use the service?

Referrals can be made by simply completing

• a referral form,
• calling 0207 386 9085 or
• emailing digital@ageukhf.org.uk to book an appointment with one of our friendly champions.

We hope, together we can make patients have more control on their health outcome and we look forward to your help in letting your patients know about this service.
