What's new?

Unfortunately, GGC Health Board have not allocated any more money for insulin pumps. At present we do not know what this means for our service and hope that the forthcoming announcement about NDP funding will assist in clarification.

The team are also making a strong case for the future provision of the service when Yorkhill moves to the New Children's Hospital on the Southern General Site.

In response to many comments we have now programmed our DKA fluid calculation sheet so that it will fill in the sums for you. You can also find examples of how to complete it (see protocol link).

Planning has begun for the shape of diabetes services in the new children's hospital te of the Southern General Hospital. There are no plans to change the provision of services at either RAH, Paisley or Inverclyde Royal, Greenock.
