What is Diabetes - Specialist - CDEP

Not yet rated

Diabetes is a complex and challenging medical condition that requires a high level of knowledge and skills in order for the person living with diabetes to optimally manage their care. It can also have a huge impact on someone's emotional health and wellbeing. For a brief introduction, you might like to watch this short video from Diabetes UK .
TOPIC TIPS... You do not have to complete the topic in one go... CDEP is designed to be done in 'bite-sized chunks' fitting into your busy life! This topic generally takes around 45 minutes - 2 hours to complete depending on your chosen CDEP level - although this may differ from person to person. There are a number of sections (competencies) within this topic, each with its own set of resources that may be useful to review should you require further support. However, undertaking the section itself is part of the learning process and will confirm or improve your current level of knowledge around that specific section, so why not jump straight in and have a go...
