We are delighted that Shaeen Hussain, Senior Diabetic Clinic Assistant, has received a Locala Standing Ovation! 💫
This was awarded for her demonstration of the “be caring” Locala value. 💜
Feedback was received from a Doctor at Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust:
“I would like to personally thank Shaeen Hussain for going above and beyond in supporting a family. Shaeen provided a consistent and knowledgeable contact for Mum, - a tricky time for any family, but especially so when there are language barriers. The significance of Shaeen's contribution to this child's care and this family's journey with diabetes cannot be underestimated.”�Well deserved Shaeen! 👏

Great teamwork at today's Cook and Count session with students at the high school! 👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳

The group got hands on in the kitchen baking apple and chocolate buns before putting their carbohydrate counting skills into practice and working out the carb content of their creations.

Learning practical skills in a fun way is a fantastic way to build confidence around food, diabetes management, and independent decision making. Well done to everyone involved today! 🍎🍫🧁
