Diabetes 10 Point Training - Inpatient and Community Mental Health Workers - Core - CDEP

The Inpatient and Community Mental Health Workers training was developed to ensure that all staff working in this field have access to basic diabetes training that is highly relevant to their work roles. This programme for mental health workers was created in collaboration with Dr Amrit Sachar, Liaison Psychiatry Consultant, Mental Health Lead in The Diabetes Transformation Programme in North West London. Ruth Miller, Diabetes Nurse Consultant and creator of the Diabetes 10 Point Training series would like to welcome you to this topic. The aim of this training is to ensure that staff working in mental health have a basic understanding of diabetes. The 10 points covered are: Point 1: The Person Point 2: Know the Difference Between the Types of Diabetes Point 3: Diabetes and Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Point 4: Hypoglycaemia (low glucose levels) Point 5: Hyperglycaemia (high glucose levels) Point 6: Insulin and Medication Safely as well as Glucose Monitoring Point 7: Feet Point 8: Eating with Diabetes Point 9: Referring to the GP, Diabetes Care Provider or Podiatry Team Point 10: Ensure Access to Diabetes Care, Information and Review The training will be delivered through a series of short videos, talking you through each of the points, links for further reading and quizzes will reinforce the learning from each section. Receive a certificate, reflection document and CDEP rewards when you finish the training. How long will it take me to complete the training? It may take you about 1 hour to work through the training - although this will differ from person to person.
