Community Hospitals

We are a small team of Community Diabetes Specialist (CDSNs) who are all prescribers. Our service acts as a link between your GP practice and the hospital diabetes service for people living with complex type 2 diabetes (already on or requiring to be assessed for insulin). We aim to support people to self-manage their diabetes, reduce or prevent the complications of diabetes, prevent hospital admission or readmission and enable people living with diabetes to live long healthy lives.

Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families facing the problems associated with any life-limiting illness. The NHS Fife palliative care team can assist with the prevention and relief of suffering by early identification, careful assessment and the treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial or spiritual.
