Proficiency in diabetes management day
This study day is for primary care nurses and allied health who work alongside whānau living with diabetes.
We will talk steroids with Dr Ryan Paul, and how to prevent elective surgery delays with Helen Morton, who will also take us through our newest prescribing resource.
Some of these are topics we have covered previously, but they keep resurfacing as issues in primary care.
