The NHS Diabetes Centre is equipped with consulting rooms, a podiatry clinic and a facility for retinal screening as well as accommodation for a dietician. Three consultant diabetologists and specialist nurses will provide secondary diabetes care. A small laboratory will be included in the new NHS Centre so that blood results will be available during clinics. An additional feature is a teaching room where patients with diabetes can be taught the elements of self care.  

There are approximately 7,500 patients in the Highlands with diabetes and around one third of these have the majority of their care undertaken by hospital specialist services.  It is estimated that the new clinic will be attended by 300 people per week and is due to open shortly.
