The post-holder provides advanced clinical decision-making across atypical and complex diabetes presentations, contributes to the weekly Tier 3 MDT (combined with the existing LTHT community diabetes MDT), and provides clinical supervision to the Tier 2 Clinical Lead Nurses for Diabetes. The role sits alongside the Consultant Diabetologist, Consultant Pharmacist, Highly Specialist Pharmacist and Clinical Psychologist, forming the specialist backbone of the model.
