Facilitator

In August 2007 the group succeeded in getting SPRI funding (Strategic Planning, Reform and Implementation- national initiatives and events that will have a significant impact on patient care) for a diabetes nurse facilitator: Katie Murphy.

The HSE has continued to fund this post since then. DiGP acknowledges the contribution of John Greaney, Cardiovascular Nurse Facilitator and Ann Kennelly, Local Health Manager North cork (Lead in Chronic Disease Management, PCCC HSE South) in securing this funding and for their support of this service initiative.
