Diabetes Referral Pathways resource toolkit for GPs

Enhance your ability to support people living with diabetes with these comprehensive care pathways.  

The resources in this kit are designed to help GPS, health professionals, and people with diabetes navigate diabetes education and management services from the time of diagnosis, including when to talk to a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE).

​

• Understand the role and value of working with a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE)

• Improve client outcomes with a clear referral pathway

• Pathway diagrams for patients to take away

You can download the Diabetes Referral Pathways: A resource toolkit for GPs here. This toolkit contains all eight pathways for both GPs and people living with diabetes.

Help us spread the word

Health professionals play an essential role in spreading the word about the Diabetes Referral Pathways and ensuring that people with diabetes see the right health professional at the right time.

​

How you can help:

  • Print the pathways and hand them out or hang them up at your work.

  • Talk to your colleagues and other healthcare professionals about them.

  • Share the images in the gallery below on your social media channels.
