Diabetes affects over 4 million people in the UK, with many individuals requiring ongoing management of lifestyle choices, medication, and care support. This course is designed for healthcare professionals who deliver training or support teams caring for people with Diabetes.
As understanding of Diabetes continues to develop, regular training is essential to ensure healthcare staff remain up to date with current management approaches and best practices.
