Introduction
The course is ideal for Practice Nurses who are interested in providing holistic healthcare for people who have been diagnosed with diabetes. The focus is mainly on type 2 diabetes, as this accounts for around 90% of all cases. The training programme consists of two interactive training days facilitated by an advanced nurse practitioner who specialises in long term conditions, including diabetes care. Attendees will be provided with resources and competencies relating to diabetes care and these can be used as a basis for being signed off and agreed by your employer and assessor. This is an introductory two-day course and nurses will be given resources to extend their reading around diabetes and grow confidence in diagnosing and managing diabetes in practice.
