Primary Health Tasmania invites health professionals from across all sectors to join us face-to-face or online for an event discussing the multidisciplinary management of diabetes. Diabetes is a common and complex presentation in primary care, with patient outcomes being optimised where multiple disciplines are involved. The aim of this event is to improve understanding of the scope, referral processes, and cost considerations for allied health services available to assist in the management of diabetes, and through this improve collaboration and care.
This event will be RACGP and ACRRM approved for 1.5 hours of Educational Activities (approval currently pending).
Learning outcomes:
- Summarise the benefits of multidisciplinary care for patients with diabetes.
- Demonstrate effective collaboration and communication with other health providers to appropriately manage diabetes.
- Describe the clinical assessments undertaken to identify potential complications of type 2 diabetes.
- Determine when to refer a patient who has type 2 diabetes.
- Self-reflect on own knowledge and skills in relation to diabetes and act on areas for professional development as identified.
