As always we appreciate your ongoing support. Waikato Hospital is over capacity with high presentations to the Emergency Department over the last 48 hours. This is placing strain on an already constrained environment as we continue to have ongoing IS limitations. We would really appreciate if you take into consideration the demands of the hospital when referring patients. Your ongoing support at this time is much appreciated. Effective from 14th June, SARS-CoV-2 IgG serology testing will be available at Pathlab Click here for the full Clinical Update - June 2021 Lead HealthPathways region, Te Manawa Taki (Midland), has updated two of their diabetes pathways and incorporated points addressing inequity into their guidance. Aligned pathway regions Auckland, Wellington, MidCentral and Whanganui are following suit, with all other regions planning their updates. Inequity in diabetes can be an overwhelming issue to try to resolve, but the updated pathways provide clinicians with information and resources that tackle manageable aspects of inequity. We have recently published an article by Lisa Dick outlining these changes and what they mean for clinicians. A copy of this article is attached. Feel free to publish this article and/or our press release in your internal communications, or link to the following social posts or online article.
