Introduction

This NHS England podcast is about innovative ways of working with people and communities, and specifically about how GP surgeries in Nottingham used an engagement process to learn how they could improve their support for patients with Type 2 Diabetes. You'll hear from Jo, a GP, Helen, a practice manager and Liv, a trainee practice manager who are all based in surgeries in an area of high social deprivation in inner city Nottingham.
