WHO AM I?
I am Elizabeth Cornish. I have been a registered nurse for over
20 years, working in many different health areas. I have
qualifications in Diabetes Education and am Credentialled by the
Australian Diabetes Educators’ Association. I also work in
Diabetes Education at a major tertiary hospital and in community
settings.
WHAT DO DIABETES EDUCATOR’S DO?
Credentialled Diabetes Educator’s help people with diabetes to
understand the risks and benefits of lifestyle choices and
treatment options. They can work with other members of the
healthcare team to achieve clinical targets, good heath and
well-being.
At SIA Medical Centre you can also see a podiatrist and a
dietician.
