Laura is one of the team’s Dietitians and has been working at UCLH since 2013. She has been employed by the NHS for 10 years, Laura had training in Paediatric Dietetics, working in the hospital and community clinics before specialising in Diabetes. Laura meets children, young people and their families to offer dietary advice and education at the time of their new diagnosis and regularly throughout their journey at UCLH, alongside the other team members.
"The most rewarding part of my role is getting to know families and children as they grow up. Food is such an important part of everybody's lives and understanding food is such a large part of managing Diabetes. I enjoy dispelling some of the myths surrounding food and helping children and young people to manage their diabetes and stay healthy, while eating food they enjoy!"
