Georgia is an Academic Foundation Year 2 Doctor based at the Leicester Diabetes Centre (LDC).
Following a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes during medical school, Georgia developed a strong interest in diabetes research. She subsequently completed an MSc in Cell and Tissue Engineering, during which she designed and developed an auto-injecting glucagon device.
Georgia has contributed to trust-wide audits on hypoglycaemia awareness and has delivered structured education and training to clinical staff. At the Leicester Diabetes Centre, she is involved in a range of research projects focused on improving diabetes care and outcomes. Most recently, Georgia has been accepted onto the NHS Clinical Entrepreneurship Programme, where she is developing a model for an intensive, 24/7 diabetes support service aimed at improving care for patients with complex needs and those struggling with disease management.
Georgia’s career ambition is to become a consultant in diabetes and endocrinology, alongside pursuing research that meaningfully improves quality of life for people living with diabetes.
