Join our Closed Facebook Group
HWE DSG has developed an active social media policy to promote activities and provide a safe place for people with Diabetes to collaborate on issue of concern.
The Facebook Group is a closed group limited to people who have Diabetes, are at risk of Diabetes, and families/carers of those with the condition.
There are strict ground rules for the Facebook Group to ensure that it is a safe and trusted environment in which people can be certain that an open dialogue is possible and any confidential information is secure.

Find out about Co-production of Diabetes Services in our Area
Co-production of Diabetes Services is a way of ensuring that people with Diabetes are actively engaged in helping to shape how
Primary and Secondary Care Services evolve in the future.
HWE DSG is actively engaged with the Diabetes Steering Group in South & West Herts and also the Hertfordshire Integrated
Diabetes Service (HIDS) operation in co-designing and reviewing both current and new services to ensure that high quality input is
available to the Service Providers in our area.
We will discuss with Providers in both East & North Herts and West Essex to evaluate how our members in these areas can be similarly engaged in co-production.
If you would like to be involved in co-production of services, please send your email address to HWE DSG at info@hwedsg.co.uk
giving the first three letters of your postcode.
The HWE DSG Committee
The committee consists of volunteers who give their time to arrange our webinars, publicise our events, engage support from local
patient participation groups (PPGs) and GP practices, engage with the service providers, and represent your views and suggestions
that can help improve their services to us, all with the aim of improving health outcomes for you.
HWE DSG is currently seeking volunteers to join the committee to assist with communications and social media, web site
development and management, fund raising and grants, and more general input to the management of HWE DSG activities.
If you can help or would like to know more, please contact us at info@hwedsg.co.uk
