St Vincent's House is inviting the local community to its free informative event on ‘Living Well with Diabetes’.

On Tuesday 26th September, from 2pm-4pm, the Care UK team will open the doors to the care home for its free event offering advice and guidance to all.

Diabetes specialist, educator and practitioner Judy Downey, will be sharing important information and giving the latest advice and tips on living well with, and preventing, type-two diabetes.

The team from London Chiropodist and Podiatrist service, Complete Feet Care, will also be on hand to provide free foot assessments and will offer advice on foot treatments available.

After the event there will be a Q&A session, and visitors will also have the opportunity to meet the team at St Vincent’s House and take a tour of the care home.

Lorelei Shepherd, customer relations manager at St Vincent’s House said: “At St Vincent’s House we strongly believe professional knowledge, insight and shared experiences can make a real difference to the everyday lives of carers. Type-two diabetes can become very common among older people, so learning how this can be prevented and managed is something that those caring for a loved one can benefit from.

“We are looking forward to welcoming people to St Vincent’s House for what promises to be another interesting and inspiring afternoon of information and guidance.”
