SCHOOL staff in Middlesbrough are taking part in a diabetic screening service.
School nursing sister Rosemarie Hedley, from Tees and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust, is offering staff from St Anthony's RC and Tollesby schools the opportunity of diabetic screening by self-testing urine strips and health checks.
Through health education and regular checks, she aims to help raise awareness of the prevalence of type II diabetes.
If successful the service will be offered to school staff in the other four schools that are part of the Middlesbrough Education Action Zone
