NDIS– Set Health assists patients with diabetes in developing an approach to removing barriers created by their disability. We empower people with diabetes, their family and care team to live a life removed from the anxiety surrounding diabetes management.
The aim is to build the capacity of NDIS participants, and their circle of support, to improve the ability of the person to have their diabetes care attended to. Everyone with diabetes should have the support they need to feel confident in their self-management.
Training, Diabetes Education and Support for Families, Support Workers and Carers.
We create a training package specifically suited to the needs of the person(s) with diabetes.
Set Health works in tandem with the client, family and any relevant health care professionals, to create a training session that will equip the staff in being able to care for the person(s) with confidence.
Our sessions are mobile and able to be delivered on-site at the clients home or your place of business. They are 100% involved and aim to give participants practical and applicable skills and knowledge. All Equipment that the person(s) currently use will be provided to practice with and contextualised resources are provided.
After the training, all staff will be issued with a 12-month certificate of competency for insurance purposes and PDP points.
