The Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) is Australia’s peak professional association representing diabetes educators and other health care professionals providing services to people with or at risk of diabetes and their families. Our aim is to promote evidenced – based best practice diabetes education and to contribute to equitable access to quality diabetes education and care. Promoting position statements in relation to diabetes care, management and education are one of the strategies employed to achieve this aim.
The ADEA collaborates with other organisations to develop position statements in relation to diabetes practice and issues of common interest.
ADEA and DAA worked collaboratively in the review of this position statement. This position statement was first developed in 2005 as a joint statement between DAA and ADEA. It was reviewed in 2010 by DAA. This current 2015 review returned to collaboration between the two associations and a working party was formed with equal numbers of representatives from both associations. The working party consisted of three APD CDEs and three RN CDEs. ADEA called for expressions of interest for working party involvement from non-APD CDEs to ensure the working party was representative of all CDEs. The entire membership of both associations were asked to be a part of the review. Over 70 members expressed interest in the review and the working party received over 30 member’s feedback.
Following member consultation, the ADEA Clinical Practice Review Committee reviewed the finalised draft. The ADEA Clinical practice committee is made up of CDEs from nursing, dietetics and pharmacy backgrounds. The final draft was also sent to and reviewed by Podiatrist and Exercise Physiologist CDEs to ensure multidisciplinary input.
ADEA has supported the Joint statement – Cultural safety: Nurses and midwives leading the way for safer healthcare prepared by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA), the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM), the Australian College of Midwives (ACM), the Australian College of Nursing (ACN) and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF),
