Add to Bookmarks Add to CPD

Provided By

The service provides holistic support for diabetes patients in Haringey and mainly works with proactive referrals. A search has been created on EMIS that will pull a list of patients for care coordinators to work on. A quarterly refresh of the list ensures any newly coded patients are picked up.

However, the service will still accept organic referrals from primary and secondary care staff, VCSOs, and is open to self-referrals if the inclusion criteria is met.
