Karen Mackie


“I qualified as a dietitian in 2003 and specialised in diabetes early in my career. I am the Diabetes Specialist Dietitian at Royal Surrey County Hospital, and am involved in various areas of diabetes management as part of the Cedar Diabetes team. I work primarily in the outpatient setting, which involves group education programs and one-to-one support. As Royal Surrey County Hospital is a Tertiary Pancreatic Centre, we often support those with Type 3C diabetes to improve their glycaemic control.”

“I qualified as a nurse in 1996, moved into community nursing, and completed a specialist Nurse Degree in District Nursing in 2002. I joined the Royal Surrey County Hospital in 2009 and began my specialism in diabetes. Within my role, I oversee the inpatient diabetes nursing team; we look after the inpatients and outpatients, supporting people with all types of diabetes. We also support transition services and antenatal care. I also manage the pump service and participate in the structured education.”

I like to think of my service as a resource - my job is to support people with diabetes and together we find a way to help improve outcomes, sometimes in quite creative ways!
