Abstract
Promotion of psychology as an integrated aspect of the diabetes team has been encouraged, with the aims of: reducing stigma felt by service users accessing this aspect of the multidisciplinary team, allowing for a biopsychosocial overview of patient care, and timely advising on appropriate signposting and onwards referral where necessary. To this end, a new care pathway was trialled, with psychology appointments offered as the third step in a new nurse‐ and dietitian‐led clinic structure.
