Helen Hopkinson

I have worked as a physician in the diabetes arena for 30 years and am a consultant physician in Glasgow. I am passionate about supporting self-management for people with diabetes and am a past chair of the DAFNE Executive Board. I am clinical lead for type 1 diabetes in Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

I regret that I didn't discover the Knuston course sooner in my career but have found it immensely helpful in achieving consultations that are effective both for the clinician and for the client. This applies both in diabetes and other areas of clinical practice - and not just in conversations with patients!
