Hospital Hypos - Specialist - CDEP
The National Diabetes Inpatient Safety Audit (NDISA) 2018-2021 data shows that 1 in 6 inpatients have diabetes. Hypoglycaemia (low glucose levels) is common - 25% of inpatients people with type 1 diabetes will have one or more hypos while in hospital. This topic is aimed at supporting ward staff to safely manage hypoglycaemia in an inpatient acute setting. 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 30 minutes - 1hour 15 minutes 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...
