Whitiora Diabetes
Service
Gill Aspin CNS –Diabetes
How Can we Help?
O We are a team consisting of
Endocrinologists, SMOs, Registrar, Clinical
Nurse Specialists that are mostly designated
Prescribers in Diabetes Health, Dietitians,
Health Psychologists, Podiatrist with vast
experience in managing people with
diabetes across the lifespan and who have
multiple morbidity. We can help with many
aspects of diabetes management
Integration -an idea that’s time
has come
O Vision of improved collaboration between
primary and secondary services has been active
for some time
O Increased prevalence of Diabetes makes this an
imperative – neither primary or secondary care
can manage the numbers alone, we need to
work together for the best outcomes for people
with DM
O Recent Kaitiaki Nursing journal has focussed on
this with articles from Mid Central, Waikato, Hutt
Valley and with a review of our own Healthy
Together program at CMH
Where to gain the knowledge
and skills to help management
of people with DM
O MIT - Short Course of Diabetes Management – Level
7 paper-currently running for a class of 19, covers the
practical skills and knowledge needed to enable DM
management with confidence and competence
O Auckland Uni – Level 8 Advanced DM nursing
practice
O On-line - HealthMentorOnline
O Ongoing mentorship from Whitiora Diabetes Service
Ways that we can work
together
O Virtual Reviews – discussion and case
review with a DNS and PN for 5-10 cases.
Time needed for the DNS to review the
electronic records prior to meeting. This
could take place at our office or yours
O MDTs both locality and practice based ones
have already been a forum that many of you
will have regular participation in and has
had many virtual reviews and case
discussion
Ways to Collaborate continued
O Physical reviews – Again if we work together this
could take place at your practice, or at the
locality hub, or outpatient clinic. For patients
where you would like us to review a client with
you . Can be for both patient and health
professional education
O Structured education sessions as you require –
an hour at your practice on things like -diet and
healthy eating, exercise, medications, Insulin
initiation and dose titration, foot checks
Team Counties- here is how
we roll
O Mentorship – this can be formal – regular
meeting- time and place, with a DNS/PN
and a structured review of agreed diabetes
management aspects
O Informal – phone contact for a quick review
of patients and issues as they arise
O Day with the service – in the past we have
had some PN come and spend a day or half
a day with the DNS at clinic or with us in
MMH
Discharge planning for
Inpatients
O Currently Diabetes nurse team ~35-40
inpatients with diabetes M-F at MMH ( 200 pts
with DM most days) We proactively triage the
admission list and review those people who have
A1c > 75. These people are also the ones that
the mDCIP project has targeted. As we often
target education and change the medications for
these people it would be great opportunity to
hand back to the primary care team at
discharge. We can do this visa the Shared care
plan , an email or phone call to a named
coordinator/ champion from your practice.
