Diabetes Health Awareness Event in Bath – 25th October 2025
The Diabetic Eye Screening Programme for the BaNES region has teamed up with HealthWatch BaNES to host a special Diabetes Health Awareness Event on Saturday 25th October 2025 at Southdown Methodist Church.
This free, public drop-in event will bring together a range of diabetes and wellbeing services, specialists, and community groups, all ready to offer support, education, and practical advice.
Visitors can:

Speak directly with health professionals and local organisations.

Pick up information on diabetes care, prevention, and general wellbeing.

It’s not just for those living with diabetes – everyone is welcome. It’s also a great chance for health professionals to network and share best practice.
