Since its inception as the Norfolk Diabetes Appeal in 1987 by Drs Greenwood and Heyburn and Elsie Bertram, the Norfolk Diabetes Trust seeks to improve facilities and care for the 48,000 people in Norfolk with known or undiagnosed diabetes.
What are the Trust’s objectives?
The NDT seeks to improve facilities and care for the 48,000 people in Norfolk with known or undiagnosed diabetes. It provides equipment, staff and facilities when NHS funds are not available, and this has led to a major improvement in the provision of services such as retinopathy screening.
Since its inception as the Norfolk Diabetes Appeal in 1987, the NDT has raised and invested in excess of £2.5 million into diabetes services locally and has made a major difference to diabetes services in Norfolk.
The NDT also seeks to improve knowledge and awareness of the condition and its management, amongst patients, their relatives and healthcare professionals.
