Diabetes

The diabetes service at Osborne Park Hospital provides a centre of excellence, educating and supporting patients with diabetes from the community and from within the hospital.

Services Provided

The main aim of the diabetes service is to ensure positive health outcomes and support for people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and to reduce hospital admissions through ambulatory insulin stabilisation.

Outpatients may be referred for education by GPs, specialists, or from other health care facilities such as Joondalup and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospitals.

Only outpatients requiring ambulatory insulin stabilisation are seen at Osborne Park Hospital while those with Type 2 diabetes, not requiring insulin are referred on for group education.

Inpatients are referred for education and on-going management by the nursing and medical staff.

Hours of Service

Diabetes services are available Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
