For Health Professionals
Diabetes Shared Care
The Diabetes Shared Care Program is a Multidisciplinary Team Care model for Moree and Narrabri Local Government Areas. The program brings together multiple health professionals for care coordination and case conferencing, and the development, implementation and monitoring of diabetes care plans.
- The Diabetes Shared Care Program benefits diabetic clients by providing an opportunity for regular and structured collaboration between disciplines.
- This approach is individualised to the needs of clients and may involve case conferencing and/or Diabetes Shared Care clinics with two or more allied health professionals.
