Diabetes clinic steps up for students
Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) will be one of the first hospitals in Australia to deliver critical diabetes training to teachers and school staff as part of a new national Diabetes in Schools program.
The $6 million program is set to ease the strain of type 1 diabetes on families by helping to ensure that principals, teachers and school staff have the support, training and tools they need to support students with type 1 diabetes at school.

Sisters strive to succeed
