Diabetes: Collaborative Care in Action Webinar
Presented by Early Career Optometry Victoria South Australia
In collaboration with:
We believe that patient-centred care through high-level multi-disciplinary collaborative care is the best model of care. However, anecdotally we hear that early career health professionals would like to better understand how to develop and maintain these relationships.
This inter-professional webinar is an opportunity to better understand what role other health professionals have in the diabetes space as well as explore in the form a case-study based panel discussion how to build relationships and networks with local health professionals.
