The NW London Diabetes Research Network team is working on studies involving adults, adolescents and children with a focus on people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and those at risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Research nursing offers the opportunity to combine patient care with the challenge of the research environment. We are looking for research nurses to join our friendly, enthusiastic team.
