Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Group Consultations

What are group clinics and why is the NHS supporting their roll out in primary care?

Group consultations are one to one medical consultations with a GP and/or specialist nurse delivered within a supportive group with a facilitator, either virtually or face to face. The NHS is supporting this model as a way for GP practices to bring together individuals for support with long term conditions helping them to better manage their own health and share their experiences and learning. This is a new way for you to join people with similar health issues and consult with your GP, nurse or healthcare team for a longer period of time allowing for more in depth discussion and shared decision making.
