- The Successful Schools Programme, which has removed junk food and soda machines from schools and is working to restore physical education programmes that have been cut.
- Community Screenings & Talks – Staff are available to participate in community events and to present health talks.
- Continuing Medical Education (CME) to keep community physicians up to date on Type 2 diabetes prevalence, prevention and treatment.
- Clinical Trials – The Centre is a recruitment resource for three ongoing international research trials.
