Course description
Course description
These highly regarded courses, taken as stand-alone modules, will help you to develop your clinical and academic skills to become an expert practitioner in diabetes. By studying with us you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to provide effective, high quality, evidence-based care whilst gaining transferable academic skills. Successful completion of the module assessment will provide you with Masters level credits to add to your CV.
If you would prefer to simply attend the taught sessions but are not seeking accreditation, you are welcome to apply at a reduced rate. This means you would attend the taught days only and opt out of the assessments attached to the course.
Please note: The last of these campus-based courses to run will be 'Diabetes and the Older Person' in late 2019 (date TBC). All our diabetes-related courses are now taught by distance learning.

Diabetes and the Older Person
This module is aimed at professionals involved in the delivery of diabetes care to the older person with diabetes. Managing older people with diabetes can often be complex due to the high risk of co-morbidities, delayed diagnosis and hospital acute admissions. Care can also be challenging where patients have dementia.
Teaching will be based on formal presentations followed by extensive group case study discussions enabling you to adopt a reflective approach to clinical practice supported by academic underpinning.
This campus-based course will run for the final time in November 2019. This course, along with other diabetes-related CPD courses, is also available by distance learning.
