The centre offers a clinical service including health promotion, information, counselling, school visits, support to teachers and carers and education to all people affected by diabetes.

Our department also sees patients with adult and peadiatric endocrine disorders including pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, bone and reproductive disorders and is well supported by nuclear medicine and pituitary (neurosurgeons) and endocrine surgeons.
