diabetes management as both
an access point for products
and in the delivery of a range of
diabetes services.
The Pharmacy Diabetes Portal supports pharmacy in the delivery of a comprehensive range of diabetes programs and services.

Barriers to Pharmacy Services
- Awareness amongst GP’s and allied health
- Community awareness of pharmacy services
- Pharmacist accessibility to resources
- Coordination and linkages between interventions
- Confidence and time availability
- Unsustainable revenue
