D4D Manual and Resources
Disability organisations tell us they experience challenges in putting together a Quality and Safety Framework for diabetes support. A lack of high level, contemporary knowledge of diabetes care and support within the disability sector compounds the challenge, especially with the Framework needing to address the intersect between diabetes and disability systems. This leads to deficits in policy, procedures and work instructions written within many of their Quality and Safety Frameworks.
Written by Jayne Lehmann, Director of EdHealth Australia, a Registered Nurse, Credentialled Diabetes Educator, The Diabetes Care & Support of People with Intellectual Disability or Acquired Brain Injury Manual delivers information recommended for the delivery of diabetes support services to people with a cognitive disability in Australia.
Written in an easy-to-read style using icons to highlight diabetes care tips and case studies, additional resources are included . Supporting the development of quality and safety systems, Jayne also draws on her lived experience interacting with disability services used in her support of her daughter, who lives with a disability.
designed support quality diabetes care by disability organisations and their support or care workers. This resource will also be of interest to any health professional working with someone with a disability and diabetes. For example, Credentialled Diabetes Educators, diabetes educators, primary care nurses in general practice, Registered and Enrolled Nurses and allied health professionals.
