The Division's two patient services - the Knox Diabetes Education
and Support Service, and the Knox Cardiac Program, are services
for General Practitioner-referred patients (only) comprising
a range of allied health professionals. For every patient
referral, GPs are being encouraged to initiate a care plan
for each patient together with the service's referral form.
The Division has commenced information sessions for the staff
from these two services, advising them of their roles and
responsibilities as contributors to care plans.
