Aims
The objectives of the programme have been developed to:
- Equip clinicians at the front line of patient assessment, diagnosis and management with the pre-requisite knowledge and skills to make evidence based decisions on the most appropriate and effective treatment and referral pathways for diabetes mellitus patients.
- Ensure that clinicians working within the context of diabetes mellitus are able to engage in fundamental processes of clinical decision making, critically reflexive practice and possess a critical awareness of the health and social care policy and governance processes underpinning diabetes mellitus provision within the context of healthcare.
- Provide a mechanism by which core skills of effective communication, multi-disciplinary team working and interdisciplinary referral can be understood theoretically and applied practically to maximise the opportunity for successful interaction at the front line of patient care in diabetes mellitus management.
