This training aims to provide participants with the basic theoretical understanding and clinical skills to safely undertake the care and management of clients with Diabetes. This ensures participants are competent to deliver a high standard of quality care to clients within a safe environment.
Course Delivery Structure
We deliver these workshops in small groups to give individual attention to each participant to maximise understanding of the topic. This also means it gives them sufficient time to practice the skill in a simulated environment and become familiar with the organisation’s diabetic management policy & protocol. This enables them to provide the client’s safe and high-quality care in a safe environment.
