Diabetes Self Care Program (7 steps to success)

1.8 Marketing the DSCP to your managers, colleagues, community and general practice

Any new program requires planning and communication with key stakeholders. The success of a new group program such as the DESMP will be largely dependent on engaging key stakeholders so that they understand who could benefit and how they can be referred into the program. There is also a need to engage the local community so that they can make decisions about their own education pathway each step of the way.

We recommend the use of a Community Education Flow Chart as this can be used across a geographical area. The education pathway can be used by all health professionals as well as consumers. The flow chart clearly shows the cyclical nature of education and the person with diabetes can get a sense that diabetes education is a lifelong journey.
