An annual diabetes cycle of care review is essential to optimise management and prevent complications for people with diabetes. Despite this, between 30-70% of patients with diabetes are not receiving investigations for key cycle of care components that could optimise their care.¹
Join our type 2 diabetes (T2D) experts who also have a special interest in primary practice quality improvement. They'll provide valuable advice for goal setting with patients and the wider team, tips for optimising your practice systems, implementation of quality care plans and education about use of MBS item numbers – with the T2D patient at the centre of care.
Choose from the following topics, complete one, or all four in any order:
Each individual topic consists of 0.5 EA, 2 MO and 5 RP CPD hours, awarding up to 30 total CPD hours if all four topics are completed.
