this year, London Medical's
COO David Briggs said,
"The London Diabetes
Centre marks a major milestone in our
25-year history. In a sense, it was also
a case of coming full circle - a return to
the original vision of our founder Dr Ralph
Abraham. His vision was to bring together
a select group of specialists with related
expertise under one roof to provide
joined-up thinking on patient care in a
place where these specialist consultants
could thrive."
Dr Abraham says, "Diabetes is a
complex condition affecting all of the body,
and even the mind. The London Diabetes
Centre has a multidisciplinary team and
has in-depth knowledge involving cardiac
health, eyecare and footcare. The centre
has invested in diagnostic equipment,
some of which is state-of-the-art,
including a new way to screen for diabetic
neuropathy. It is the best bit of kit for this
purpose in the world, and ours is the only
one currently in the country. Technology
can make a big difference to diabetes
patients' treatment and wellbeing. We
are very open to using of technology to
do this with people with diabetes on an
individual customized one-to-one basis."
