Tanyat Basharat is the Community Health Educator working at Shipshape. You can get in touch with her for any more information by dropping in to the shop (222 London Road) or calling 2500222.

  • As a Health Educator she works to empower and motivate people to self manage and understand their Diabetes.
  • We aim to increase the ability of communities to self manage their Diabetes. We deliver "Practical Education" sessions around self managing, such as exercise, cook & eat demos, health checks etc.
  • We also create Awareness/Education through clients to their families, via our ShipShape Diabetes Self Management hand book.

All our service is FREE and CONFIDENTIAL. Urdu speakers are available if needed.


We deliver 2 Diabetes Education Programmes in a year at local venues In Sharrow. The programmes are made practical and interactive.
