The Children’s and Young People's Diabetes Team provides both specialist care and support to children (0-18 years of age) and their families with a diagnosis of diabetes. Support is provided in a variety of settings as well as providing a 7-day On Call Service to reduce and in most cases prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.

The service:

• Provides specialist support, education, training and expert advice from diagnosis through to supported transition to Adult Services.
• Work in partnership with the Child and Family providing real choice as to how and where they receive nursing care and support.
