Patient and professional satisfaction
“The FD service from Stoneleigh House is excellent. They give excellent care and advise to any patients I have sent there and have always improved the diabetic measures of control as well as helping the patient with understanding
their condition. The patient satisfaction is very high.
They have also helped with my own understanding of Diabetes as well as being a considerable support to our
nursing team”
