At the VELOCITY Clinic, women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are given specialist, multidisciplinary care. The clinic is led by Dr Myers alongside a team of specialist midwives, diabetes specialist nurses and a diabetologist. The clinic provides additional monitoring and support for the management of diabetes (including glucose sensors) and extra ultrasound scans throughout the pregnancy.
Dr Jenny Myers, who runs the clinic, runs a research programme within the Tommy’s Maternal and Fetal Health Research Centre and women attending the VELOCITY clinic are invited to take part in the research studies.
