Do you struggle to book in due to work or other commitments?

DID YOU KNOW: We have late clinics every month? (Venue's differ)

You can call us on 01270 275523 to check availability or if you have a pin number on your invitation letter, you can book online. 🔗 https://optomizebooking.eastcheshire.nhs.uk/home

If there is a reason you're currently unable to attend screening, please let us know by calling the number above. As we do not have access to your medical records, we rely on patients keeping us informed of any health conditions or circumstances that may affect their ability to attend. 🧡

Is your child living with type 1 diabetes and getting ready for the new school year? ✏️

'My Type 1 Info' cards are perfect for students to carry with them in their pocket, school bag or diabetes kit. They can be personalised with information their school staff may need to know, including the technology they use, hypo treatments and why a child with type 1 may need access to a mobile phone.

Designed with the help of our Together Type 1 Young Leaders, the card aims to make conversations about diabetes with teachers and school staff easier, helping to reduce anxiety and answer common questions they may have.

📍 Alsager Health Centre is home to our head office, but unfortunately many local residents still face challenges getting to important healthcare appointments, including GP visits and Diabetic Eye Screening appointments.

If you, or someone you know, have a little time to spare and could help with transport, your support could make a real difference to someone in the community. 💙

Do you want to make a difference in your local community?

You could be a volunteer driver with us at Alsager Community Support! We are needing local people who want to make local lives better by helping people attend medical appointments and the local Lunch Club. You can provide not just a lift, but a friendly face, kindness and reassurance.

If you have a few hours spare a week and would like to help out, get in touch:
