no DAFNE

Is there anyone out there who does not get DAFNE support from their PCT? What do you do?

Not sure what I will do, mine has just pulled the plug. I have not been told about Sheffield withdrawing though how did you find out about them withdawing ??

Sheffield have not stopped. It was me who moved away from Sheffield to a PCT that did not offer DAFNE. The support in Sheffield is excellent and has a lot of DAFNE grads.

For me the best thing is to use this site. The support and advice, or just wanting a nudge in the right direction is so helpful.

There have been a lot of changes in Herefordshire where I am now. I have had 3 different consultants. Usually Locums. Their care is very good but they are not able to offer continuity re: DAFNE. I believe it was offered once.

It would be nice if I could move home but still keep in touch with a DAFNE team.

My clinic is still up and running but I too can see a different consultant at each visit, which is annoying, but thankfully the DSN there is the same and any help or advice I need can come from her.........

I know what you mean, I live in fear of my consultant retiring. He is getting on now and I fear without him my clinic will fall into the same mode of operation as yours. Fortunately he is a strong character as well as being a superb consultant. Its hard when you see someone different all the time and cannot build a relationship. Let alone someone who understands DAFNE as well.
