GP Collective Margate’s Services


Diabetes Cycle of Care
Diabetes has a varied impact on your overall health, and it’s important to check in with your doctor at regular intervals to stay on top of things.
Without regular checks, diabetes can lead to health problems that can affect your whole body, including your kidneys, eyes, feet, nerves and heart.
The diabetes cycle of care is a checklist for reviewing your diabetes management and general health each year. Your doctor and chronic disease nurse will do this review to help you, and your diabetes health professionals manage your diabetes, and your risk of diabetes-related complications.
Chronic Disease
GP Collective Margate are involved in Chronic Disease Management (CDM). The 5C’s in Chronic Disease Management are Control, Compliance, Complications, Counselling and Customisation.
A CDM is a comprehensive care plan that lists all of your health problems, what you aim to achieve, other health providers, medications, community services available to your condition(s) and other information about your health.
Once you have agreed to a CDM Plan your nurse and doctor will prepare the care plan for you. This will involve managing medications, access to your urgent care needs and support for managing appointments for your condition.
Patients who have at least one chronic medical condition or complex medical care needs are eligible for a care plan. A chronic disease condition is one that has been present for at least 6 months.

Heart Health
Even though many heart attacks and strokes can be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle,heart disease still remains the leading cause of death in Australia. Since you can’t often feel the risk factors, like high blood pressure and cholesterol, mostpeople don’t often know their risk of developing heart disease.
A 20-minute Heart Health Check with your GP will help you understand your risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years, and work with you on a plan to decrease that risk. This may involve discussing ways to make heart-healthy changes to your lifestyle, sending referrals to programs or other health professionals for more support or further testing, or prescribing blood pressure or cholesterol lowering medications.
All people aged 45–79 years without known heart disease, people with diabetes aged 35-79 years, and First Nations people aged 30–79 years should all have, and are eligible for a Heart Health Check bulk billed by Medicare. Having a Heart Health Check is an important first step to protecting your heart. Talk to your GP about a Heart Health Check today.
