Storyman, Your experience from your "local support service" is similar to mine. Whilst the medics are dealing with many patients, it seems the clinic nurse is seen as the expert. And they just follow the tick list.
As I have vascular and renal and CKD, caused by my diabetes, the GP asked what do I want him to do? He then went on to say that the best treatment advice would be obtained from the specialists at the hospital!
Having been concerned about the expertise in the health centre, the GP has now confirmed my thoughts.
