This CPD-accredited Essentials of Diabetes course is aimed at learners who are new to working with diabetes patients and would like an overview of the disease, diagnosis, and management.

Increase your knowledge and know-how

This Essentials of Diabetes programme is designed for practitioners who have recently begun to, or are preparing to, support patients with diabetes. This may include newly qualified nursing staff, HCAs and HCSWs, social care staff, or experienced healthcare professionals who have been recently deployed to support patients with diabetes.

Led by a highly qualified frontline clinician, these interactive sessions will enable you to improve your clinical practice by:

• Discussing and reviewing best practice in diabetes
• Recognising symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• Developing an awareness of how different population groups are affected by diabetes
• Exploring a range of treatment pathways and how they contribute to a person-centred care approach

This course involves two 2-hour webinars delivered six weeks apart. Following the first session, learners are asked to explore how they will apply their learning in practice and evaluate these outcomes in session 2.
