Telford MP Presents First Community Recognition Award to Telford Nurses for Innovative Diabetes Pilot

Shaun Davies, Member of Parliament for Telford, has presented his first MP Community Recognition Award to Laura Edmunds, Team Leader for North Telford Community Nursing, and Marj Austin, Community Matron, in recognition of their outstanding work on an innovative pilot scheme supporting patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Laura Edmunds, Team Leader for North Telford Community Nursing, says:

“Both myself and Marj are incredibly proud to receive this award and that the work we are so passionate about is being recognised for how it’s improving the lives of our service users.”

The pilot, which has been successfully rolled out to patients across Telford, enables both patients and nurses to monitor blood glucose levels much more accurately from home. This new approach has already improved the management of diabetes for many patients, helping to deliver better outcomes and long-term health improvements.

Shaun said: "Laura and Marj’s dedication to supporting patients with diabetes is truly inspiring. This pilot scheme is making a real difference to the lives of people in our community, and I’m proud to recognise their hard work and commitment. Projects like this show how innovation in healthcare can have a lasting impact on people's lives."
