Information for Referrers

Thank you for considering My Healthful Clinic for your patient’s care.

I am an Endorsed Nurse Practitioner, Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE) and Certified Insulin Pump Trainer with more than 20 years of clinical nursing experience and over a decade specialising in diabetes, endocrinology and metabolic health.

My practice provides comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, prescribing and ongoing management for adults with:

• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Diabetes technology (continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy)
• Complex insulin management
• Obesity and weight management
• Cardiometabolic risk reduction
• Endocrine conditions commonly managed in primary care
• Women’s metabolic health, including menopause

Following consultation, a comprehensive management plan is developed and communicated to you as the referring clinician. Patients are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with their usual GP, and I work collaboratively with referrers and other members of the healthcare team to support coordinated, evidence-based care.

My clinical approach is patient-centred, evidence-based and focused on improving long-term health outcomes while supporting primary care.

Prior to entering private practice, I was the Clinical Nursing Lead and Manager of the Diabetes and Endocrine Service at the Launceston General Hospital, where I worked from 2016 to 2023. In 2023, I transitioned into primary care and now practise exclusively in private practice, providing advanced nurse practitioner services for people living with diabetes, obesity, endocrine disorders and complex metabolic conditions.
