Diabetes Service

In response to coronavirus, this service has made some changes – for updated service information click here.

What we do

The aim of the team is to provide high quality care for people with diabetes close to where they live. We work with other community health care professionals, such as district nurses and community matrons, to provide the right support for people to manage their diabetes.

We provide:

  • Diabetes Clinics at Litherland Town Hall Health Centre, Monday to Friday and Maghull Health Centre, Wednesday and Thursday
  • Drop in clinics offering advice regarding diabetes management at Maghull Health Centre Wednesday 9.30am-11.30am and in Litherland Town Hall Health Centre Thursdays 9.30am-11.30am
  • Home visit service for people who are house bound or in nursing homes that often have multiple medical problems
  • 'Diabetes and You’ is for people who have been newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and carers and friends are welcome to attend.
