Teesside University UCCE Insulin Conversion in People with Type 2 Diabetes in Primary Care 10 Credits Level 5
Certified by the CPD Certification Service
More people with Type 2 Diabetes are now requiring insulin therapy. This conversion is increasingly being made in Primary Care. This sixteen week module aims to develop the knowledge and understanding of the health care practitioner to initiate insulin therapy in such individuals. The module examines the need for insulin therapy, explores regimens and patient educational issues. This course is suitable for registered healthcare professionals, already managing people with Type 2 diabetes and working in primary care.
The module is assessed through a written 2,000 reflective case study which evaluates the care of a patient converting to insulin.
Primary Care Training Centre can also create this course for you on arrangement either at your workplace or at one of their locations.
If there are sufficient students (usually 20-24 students), our tutors can come to you at a big saving in time as well as travel and accommodation costs for the students. We call these courses/study days delivered in your area Satellites.
