Left untreated, diabetes can lead to a number of health problems including heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, kidney disease, and eye and foot problems. To care for people with diabetes, healthcare professionals must understand how to treat all of these related conditions, and have the knowledge to spot early warning signs that could help to prevent them.
Communication is also a vital skill that many training courses overlook. An extensive knowledge of diabetes is important, but in order to follow best practices your team must be able to communicate this knowledge with patients. Because lifestyle choices lead to diabetes-related issues, healthcare staff must support their patients and explain what they can do to reduce symptoms and prevent future illness.
For your organisation to succeed in providing the best care possible, you need to keep your team up to date with the latest information and methodology to stay compliant and in line with the latest recommendations from the government and healthcare organisations.
Completing this course is also beneficial for individuals too. As diabetes treatment is a sought-after skillset, the certification received will help with career progression, especially if leadership and/or supervisory roles are the goal.
Our comprehensive diabetes care training course leads to a nationally accredited diabetes qualification. It explores the different types of diabetes, how they can occur, and outlines how lifestyle changes can delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
It also provides practical guidance about diabetes diagnosis, initial and ongoing care, and controlling blood-sugar levels. Upon completion of this course, successful learners will be awarded the Level 2 Certificate in Understanding the Care and Management of Diabetes (RQF (QCF)).
This course is aimed at any healthcare professionals whose work may bring them into contact with people who have diabetes. This includes health-care workers, people who work with children and young people, and those employed in the uniformed services. It may also be of interest to people who have diabetes themselves and want to learn more about it.
Our Care and Management of Diabetes Training course is supported by the LDSS. This means that your organisation can be reimbursed for the cost of the course; one more reason why it’s perfect for your team.
The RQF (QCF) Level 2 Certificate in Understanding the Care and Management of Diabetes comprises four mandatory units presented in two concise module workbooks:
All of our healthcare training courses can be tailored to your organisation. Although the modules themselves must be set in stone, our trainers will always be able to answer specific questions, go into more detail with relevant examples, or focus less on methodology that your team is already familiar with.
We also regularly update our courses whenever new information comes to light. Diabetes is a condition that is being studied and researched constantly, and our trainers always pay attention to any new advice or recommendations that we can then teach you.
This diabetes care training is a blended course comprised of activity workbooks and an assessment.
For the best learning experience, we incorporate a live, in-person training course with portfolio/workbook completion. This results in hands-on experience, of techniques, but also allows learners to show that they understood the topic.
Upon completion, learners will receive a Certificate in Understanding the Care and Management of Diabetes – RQF (QCF) Level 2.
After receiving their certificate, learners will also be able to further their own continuous professional development via other courses such as the Level 3 Care and Management of Diabetes Training course, which is ideal for those looking for career development.
This course has been designed specifically for those who during the course of normal working practices are required to lift and move both objects and patients alike.
Our Level 5 Extended Diploma in Health & Social Care (RQF) is one of the most advanced courses that will give you the knowledge, tools, and support to improve practice, contribute to quality, and lead with confidence – without stepping away from work or making personal sacrifices.
