Course Description: The IMPaCT Diabetes training programme is designed for healthcare professionals, including nurses and allied health professionals involved in the care of patients with diabetes, seeking to enhance their expertise in diabetes management (Nursing Associates may only attend pathway 1, please see below for details). This intensive 12 week programme, which comprises of prior learning followed by 6 in person interactive sessions, covers essential topics for advanced understanding and treatment of diabetes, ensuring participants are well equipped to deliver high quality patient care.
The programme is delivered via three distinct pathways (outlined below). You must indicate, on your booking form, which pathway you wish to attend. You must attend all sessions within your chosen pathway. See the attached flyer for more details on the content of each session.
- Pathway 1: (Includes sessions 1, 2, 3 and 6) For those who wish to complete introductory sessions and sessions on therapeutic options, but do not wish to initiate insulin or GLP-1/GIP therapies.
- Pathway 2: (Includes sessions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) For those who would like to attend the comprehensive training package, which includes titration and initiation of insulin and GLP-1/GIP therapies.
- Pathway 3: (Includes sessions 1, 4, 5 and 6 (*session 1 is optional – see below)) For those who have already completed pathway 1 or have prior learning and competence in both pharmacological and non pharmacological therapeutic management of diabetes and wish to proceed to initiate and titrate injectable therapies.
