There are a number of additional services available through your local NHS, apart from clinical care, such as:

• Additional clinical support options (as highlighted in ‘Manage your health’ on this website) such as the Diabetes Service.
• Transport to medical appointments
• Personal Health Budgets  (where available locally, these are a way of giving people with long term health conditions and disabilities more choice and control over the money spent on meeting their health and wellbeing services)
• Ways of getting involved and having a voice in the shaping of local services.
