Nurses play a key role in Chronic Disease Management (CDM), which focuses on the 5 C’s: Control, Compliance, Complications, Counselling, and Customisation.

A CDM plan is a comprehensive care plan that outlines your health conditions, treatment goals, medications, involved healthcare providers, available community services, and other relevant health information.

Once a plan is agreed upon, your nurse and doctor will work together to develop and implement it. This may include managing medications, providing access to urgent care, and assisting with appointment coordination.

Care plans are available to patients with at least one chronic health condition or complex medical care needs. A chronic condition is generally defined as one that has been present for six months or longer.

Iron is an essential nutrient, in which your body relies on to make haemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. These red blood cells assist in transporting oxygen from your lungs, to the cells throughout your body via the bloodstream. When your body is iron deficient, your cells receive less oxygen, which can impact on your energy levels, concentration, immune system and mental state.

Iron deficiency is sometimes resolved through dietary changes or oral supplements, however, in some cases your doctor may decide that an iron infusion is required as it is more immediate in its effect, and also eliminates any problems with absorption by delivering the iron directly into the blood via an intravenous (IV) infusion.
