This is the only Australian study to prospectively gather accurate on-call data in order to elucidate the impact of changing a hospital's after-hours endocrine/diabetes service to a model that enhanced family empowerment and independence. Historical 24-h on-call service models are not indispensable, and changes can improve sustainability without compromising patient care.
