Navigating the maze of referral pathways for diabetes prevention can be a headache. Heather Campbell and I have put together an easy-to-use tool (similar to the Mental Health Support Tool) to help.

As part of reviewing how we deliver information on the diabetes prevention program, we’ve been developing a web-based tool. This links in with a survey on diabetes prevention that some practices have been participating in over the past few weeks.

The interview-style survey aims to find out what practices need, and how they would like information and support about diabetes prevention (and possibly other programs) delivered by the division.

We need to know if this web-based tool has value to GPs.

If it proves useful, there is tremendous potential for guiding GPs safely through any number of complex referral pathways.

I know you have many concerns competing for your attention. Please, please take 2 mintues to check it out and send some feedback. I think we might be onto something good here.
