Diabetes and homelessness: responding to a complex safeguarding challenge

Online

25FebBench with person's belongings strewn aboutPart of Homelessness series

Learning from a 15 month project looking at best practice responses.

People experiencing homelessness with diabetes can have extremely poor outcomes.

A diabetes diagnosis combined with any of the challenges of housing precarity, mental ill health, brain injury, communication challenges, addictions or self-neglect can make it is extremely difficult to manage the high risks to someone’s health.

This seminar will draw on findings from analysis of Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) and will share cases of safeguarding best practice from a 15-month national project led by Sam Dorney-Smith involving diabetes and inclusion health nurses, allied professionals, experts by experience and expert patients.

Sam is a Nurse Researcher at University College London, a Queen's Nurse, Professional Nurse Advocate, and a Pathway Fellow. She has over a decade of experience in inclusion health, working as a Nurse Practitioner, Practice Development Nurse and Team Leader.
