ADEA President Amanda Bartlett has emphasised the crucial role of CDEs as the national voice for GPs calls for more government support to grow multidisciplinary care teams.
In a media release on 21 February, the Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) is calling for the next federal budget to include support for practices to grow their teams and employ other health professionals, including CDEs, to improve care and access for patients.
The call comes after respondents in a nationwide newsGP poll said their patients would benefit most from having CDEs, psychologists, pharmacists, and occupational therapists in their practice teams.
Ms Bartlett told the RACGP that CDEs ‘play a vital role in providing expert individualised diabetes care for people living with diabetes’.
ADEA President Amanda Bartlett spoke with the RACGP about the crucial role of CDEs.
‘Collaborating closely with GPs, CDEs provide comprehensive person-centred diabetes education that allows people living with diabetes to live their healthiest lives,’ she said.
‘Diabetes is a very complex condition and CDEs and GPs both share a commitment to enhancing the lives of those affected by diabetes through close collaboration.’
ADEA has been advocating for more government support for CDEs and multidisciplinary care teams.
This includes submissions to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Diabetes and the Health Department’s Scope of Practice review.
