The diabetes team hold clinics at various sites across the west of Scotland. This page tells you where.
The Royal Hospital for Children
1345 Govan Road
Glasgow
G51 4TF
There is now only one place where people under the age of 16 years will be admitted to hospital in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and that is the Royal Hospital for Children (RHC). Fortunately, once they find out they have diabetes and are well enough to go home, few children need to be re-admitted. Diabetes is mainly looked after at home, with regular visits to clinic.
No diabetes appointments are ever held at RHC.
Blythswood House
Fulbar Lane
Renfrew PA4 8NT
The service moved in the summer of 2026 to our new base in Blythswood House. Although works will be ongoing for around 2 years, the building will be an excellent site for our many outpatient clinics, patient reviews, and teaching sessions.
Royal Alexandra Hospital
Corsebar Road
Paisley PA2 9PN
We have a smaller office here at the RAH but currently only offer a transition clinic here once a month.
Inverclyde Royal Hospital
Level L North
Larkfield Road
Greenock PA16 0XN
Clinics are held at Inverclyde twice a month, allowing families from towns like Dunoon and Rothesay to receive diabetes care without having to travel for many hours.
Lorn and Islands Hospital
Glengallan Road
Oban
PA34 4HH
Staff from Greater Glasgow and Clyde travel to Oban three times a year to hold clinics. At other times, families here receive great support from the local Community Children's Nurse Carole Gatward and adult Diabetes Nurse Specialist Seonaid Morrison.
There may be times families from Argyll are asked to come to clinic in either Glasgow or Paisley, or to travel to these centres for education.
Western Isles Hospital
Macaulay Road
Stornoway
HS1 2AF
The diabetes team in Stornoway always make us welcome when we visit for one of our clinics. Typically, we travel to the islands twice a year and supplement this with virtual (video) clinics. In between times, the local team carries out the reviews and education that is required for their families.
