Referrer resources

What to put in a referral, one page summaries of each discipline, and the consumer material you can hand someone in the room.

What to send us

A referral letter is enough. These four things are what turn the first appointment into treatment rather than history taking.

The clinical question

One line on what you want answered is worth more than three pages of history. Tell us what has already been tried and what did not work.

Medicines and recent results

The current medicine list, the most recent HbA1c with its date, renal function, and anything relevant from the last twelve months. Also tell us the funding pathway, the plan date, and how to reach the person, including any interpreter requirement.

What we can send you

Ask and we will email these, or take them from the downloads page.

Discipline summaries

One page per discipline covering scope, what a first appointment involves, and the usual review intervals.

Consumer resources

Plain English handouts for people living with diabetes, written to a Grade 6 to Grade 8 reading level. Tell us the topic and we will send what we have.

In-service for your practice

Our clinicians run short in-service sessions for practice teams on diabetes technology, insulin adjustment and the foot risk pathway.

WA specialist directory

We keep a directory of Western Australian endocrinology and adult specialist services. Ask us if you are looking for someone taking new patients.

Ways to reach us

Four routes, depending on how much of a conversation it needs to be.

The referral form on this site captures everything we need in one pass, including the funding pathway and any urgency, so nobody has to ring you back for the missing piece.

If your practice already has a route it uses for allied health referrals, keep using it. Address the letter to PDC Health Hub, name the discipline and the clinical question, and our care team will pick it up.

Ring (08) 6110 0570. Useful when you are not sure which discipline it is, when something is urgent, or when the person has been seen by us before and you want them back with the same clinician.

Where several people are involved and the plan keeps slipping, a conference is quicker than another round of letters. The case conferences page has the detail and the item numbers for both sides.

Ask us for what you need

If there is something you want and it is not here, tell us. Most of these resources exist because a referrer asked for them.
