Collaborative Commissioning: Care Partnership – Diabetes

The Care Partnership – Diabetes (CP-D) program is designed to improve health outcomes for people living with type 2 diabetes in Far West and Western New South Wales (NSW) by enhancing patient access to quality diabetes care; supporting the capability of health practitioners; partnering with GP practices and Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs); and improving the integration of the primary health and hospital system.

CP-D is funded by the NSW Ministry of Health’s Collaborative Commissioning program and contributions from a partnership comprising Far West NSW Local Health District (LHD), Western NSW LHD, Western NSW Primary Health Network and Rural Doctors Network (RDN).
