Referral for Education

Use the Community Health Service form (RP), ensuring you make clear which education programme you are referring to (Type 2 or pre-diabetes) and the patients preferred language.

Exclusions:

1. Patients who do not have English or Bengali as their first language.
2. Patients who have incomplete information – results within the last 3 months are required (see below).
3. Patients who do not wish to attend group education.
4. Patients who require type 1 structured diabetes education should be referred to the Diabetes Specialist Nurse in the first instance. If not under the care of a consultant please make an e-referral. People with Type 1 diabetes will be offered education as part of their package of care by the specialist diabetes team.
