Testimonial: Diabetes Care in the Community
“I cannot stress enough how important it has been for us as an organisation to access the Diabetes Care in the Community Training through Edhealth Australia. It has made such a difference in our clients’ life.
Harry (de-identified) is in 24/7 accommodation support due to high-risk behaviours associated with his disability, mental health and physical care. He is not able to self-administer his twice daily insulin due to a lack of physical capacity and has historically had to go to his GP or the hospital to have his insulin injected. Harry sometimes had to wait for hours to have his morning and evening insulin injection given by health professionals; due to his remote location he was not able to have services visit his home.
Harry’s ability to access his community when he wanted, and to achieve his life goals were significantly impacted. He developed significant behaviours of concern that impacted on his health, the community and his level of risk.
Now that staff (support workers) are trained to administer his daily insulin and have a clear understanding of his diabetes health, Harry no longer needs to wait for the appointment times and schedules of health professionals. He has the freedom to live his life and achieve his goals in his own time.
Not only have health professionals, stakeholders and staff noted a significant change in Harry’s wellbeing and behaviour; Harry himself has too. He has the freedom to access the community in his own chosen time which offers more opportunities to engage in activities and achieve his individual goals.
Many thanks to Jayne and Edhealth for making this possible; for being so flexible and wonderful to work with; for delivering such important training to staff who support those in the community with very specific health needs in a way that holds the client as the central and most important person in that system. Thank you!”
