The service was the only paediatric diabetes service to receive a COE by the NADC, an organisation that sets the standard of diabetes care in Australia.
“On review of your evidence, the committee wishes to acknowledge your organisation’s significant work and contribution in the following key areas: Influence nationally and internationally; leaders in diabetes technology; diabetes research (and) evidence-based models of care,” Dr Elaine Pretorius, Chair of the NADC accreditation committee, said.
