The #endingtrachoma team has produced a series of factsheets designed for tenants in remote/regional communities with the aim of reducing transmission of environmental health related diseases within the home environment. The factsheets can be used as part of the environmental health clinical referral response process as they provide simple steps on how the tenant can reduce transmission in the home. The factsheets cover health issues and diseases such as runny tummy, otitis media, breathing issues and lung sickness, scabies, skin sores and trachoma. There is also a factsheet that provides advice for Environmental Health Practitioners and clinicians on what to expect after a clinical referral has been made.

Developing a list of mutually agreed environmental health attributable diseases for the environmental health clinical referral process using assigned ICD-10-AM codes would influence the provision of primary care to include recognition of the impact of environmental health conditions and allow environmental health staff to provide a response and education at both community and household levels to break disease cycles.

A wonderful achievement by the #endingtrachoma team and partners. Improving referral pathways to improve environmental and public health
Principal at Stoneham & Associates Public Health Consulting & Lead #endingtrachoma project at Curtin University
What a great start to the week! An incredibly valuable interactive workshop in Tom Price, with partners from across the Pilbara discussing how best to provide environmental health clinical referral and responses. It was fantastic to have SafetyCulture attend from Sydney to work through the healthy homes App and demonstrate the data platforms. The Pilbara is leading the way in this process!
